About Ashmore Technology

At Ashmore Technology, we provide a dedicated platform for COO, Operating Partner, and board assignments specifically tailored for mid-market, Private Equity-backed businesses. We bridge the gap between investment strategy and operational reality, delivering defined engagements with clear outcomes and timescales.

Our Core Specialism

We specialise in the high-stakes environment of carve-outs and bolt-ons within the industrials, manufacturing, and business services sectors. Led by Philip Hatton, an experienced Operating Partner and COO, we focus on businesses typically in the £1–5m EBITDA range.

How We Create Value

• Pre-Acquisition Readiness: We conduct operational due diligence and separation readiness, testing TSA assumptions and management capacity before a deal closes.
• Post-Transaction Stabilisation: We take accountability for standing up standalone operations, ensuring systems and controls function seamlessly under new ownership.
• Technology & Infrastructure: We lead critical technology decisions, including ERP and Business Central migrations, IT cost optimisation, and cyber security implementation.
• Cash & Operational Control: We move businesses from manual spreadsheets to predictive cash visibility, ensuring the business is prepared for a clean TSA exit.

Proven Expertise

Our track record includes delivering £500k+ in annual cost savings, growing EBITDA from £1.8m to £2.5m in challenging markets, and managing operational transformations that underpin successful exits. With a background rooted in Deloitte, KPMG, and Barclays, we combine tier-one strategic rigour with hands-on, mid-market execution.
