Our management consultancy support focuses on strengthening organisations within the food and non-food sectors we focus on. Together with entrepreneurs and their teams, we look at how to improve overall performance—by analysing current challenges and shaping practical steps forward.

Management Consultancy as accelerating skill

At PUM, we support SMEs in core industries of the food and non-food industries—such as horticulture, hospitality, healthcare, and ruminants.

We also offer accelerating skills in cross-cutting areas like business strategy, technical assistance, eco and social transition, and learning & development. These are not standalone services; instead, we apply them where relevant to strengthen projects within a core industry.

For example, we don’t offer general marketing support to a marketing agency, but we do assist a tourism or food processing business improve its marketing efforts. This approach also boosts collaboration across sectors and business ecosystems, driving broader, more sustainable growth.

Depending on the context of the sector and SME, our management consultancy services may include support with organisational change, coaching and leadership development, strategy design, or improving day-to-day operations. Our experts bring relevant experience and proven approaches, always tailored to what’s needed.

These accelerating skills are not one-size-fits-all—they’re applied in close collaboration, and always aimed at helping businesses in core industries move faster, with more clarity and confidence.

“What I really enjoyed about the collaboration with PUM is that it was very hands on, and very practical. PUM expert Harry rolled up his sleeves and was very involved with no strings attached. As a small business, as an entrepreneur I wanted to grow sustainably. I knew I had the right product, I just needed the guidance on how to take the next steps.”
