Empowering SMEs through a blend of academic insights and industrial expertise driven consulting

Industry We Serve

At InForge Consulting, we focus where our evidence-led approach makes the biggest difference: high-growth technology ventures, UK manufacturing & industrial firms, and consumer-facing FMCG/health brands. Each sector brings its own pressures; our blend of academic insight and practical know-how turns those pressures into opportunity.

Industry we serve

Technology-Driven Companies

AI | Blockchain | SaaS | Deep Tech

Technology AI

UK tech scale-ups are powering more than 55 % of total SME output despite representing <0.6 % of SME numbers. Yet founders face three brutal realities:

​​

  • Talent squeeze – the UK could face a 50 % shortfall in AI professionals by 2027, slowing product road-maps and investor confidence.​​

  • Volatile regulation & hype cycles – policy shifts and buyer scepticism can stall adoption overnight.​

  • Search-first buying journeys – 90 % of B2B buyers start with Google; invisibility equals irrelevance.​

How We Help

  • Market-entry & opportunity scans to prioritise verticals that can scale despite skills gaps.​

  • Precision segmentation and positioning that cut through noise and frame value beyond tech buzzwords.​

  • SEO-driven thought-leadership programmes that place you on page one for the problems your buyers actually search.

Manufacturing & Industrial Engineering

Almost two-thirds of UK SME manufacturers plan to scale into large businesses this decade, a move that could add £83 bn to the economy—but finance, intelligence gaps and digital weak spots stand in the way.​​

Sector pain-points we solve

  • Fragmented market data that obscures the most profitable niches.

  • Websites where calls-to-action are buried, letting warm enquiries slip by.

  • Limited in-house resource to analyse reshoring trends, sustainability mandates and Industry 4.0 investments.

​

InForge impact

  • Evidence-rich market mapping and competitor watchlists that expose untapped demand.

  • Conversion-ready digital storefronts—SEO, UX and clear CTAs—for lead capture on day one.

  • Funding-aligned growth plans that translate strategy into tangible CapEx and workforce milestones.

Manufacturing

FMCG, Healthcare & Consumer Brands

With 62 % of UK consumers cutting non-essential spend due to the cost-of-living squeeze, margins are under fire. Simultaneously, slow load-times and missing CTAs drive would-be buyers to rivals.
Where we add value

  • Rapid consumer insight sprints to understand shifting price sensitivity and channel preferences.

  • Social-first storytelling and micro-segment targeting to stay top-of-mind—even when wallets tighten.

  • Performance-optimised commerce sites that load fast, rank high and convert browsers into buyers.
