Our areas of expertise

We have operational expertise across a wide range of areas, reflecting where we see repeat value creation opportunities.

Growth naturally sits at the centre of everything we do at Hg. 

Our Growth Team views the often-disconnected disciplines of Marketing, Sales, Pricing, Customer Success and beyond as all parts of a single impulse. You can’t grow without taking them all into account. The team supports the aspirations of Hg’s portfolio by applying this approach with a long-term lens at every level – from strategy to projects - with experts and practitioners providing hands-on and collaborative support to share knowledge and realise value creation initiatives.
