Oliver Bridge

 Head of UK Operations Consulting, Grant Thornton UK LLP

With over 17 years of advisory and industry experience, I specialise in operations due diligence and optimisation. For the past nine years, I have worked on complex international advisory assignments, including Enterprise Due Diligence separations, integrations, cost reduction and process improvement. I particularly enjoy working with industrial businesses, major manufacturing and supply chain assets.

I also have seven years industry experience with Anglo American where I managed a large multi-site manufacturing facility in a turn-around process.

Previous experience includes:

• operational due diligence and separation of steel manufacturing, consumer goods, logistics and warehouse assets

• optimisation of multiple Tier 1 automotive manufacturing units

• private equity transaction and portfolio optimisation support

• separation and optimisation of Kodak Alaris (MCA 2015 award for Project of the Year).

Outside of work I enjoy long distance running and lower league football. I am also a school governor for a local primary school.
