Consultancy Services
The best outcomes share a common foundation: the right questions were asked before the work began, and the right discipline was applied when it came to delivery.
Frago & Co Ltd brings both. We work with founders, leadership teams, investors, and landowners at the moments that matter; primarily across real estate and land, and selectively in SME growth and business strategy.
We are direct, independent, and committed to one standard: that every engagement delivers value worth the investment.
How We Structure Our Engagements
A client should always know what they are paying for, what they will receive, and when the engagement concludes. That clarity is fundamental to how we work and results in engagements that are commissioned because they are genuinely needed and judged on whether they have genuinely delivered.
To achieve this, we work in two stages, with a clear scope and pauses for structured reflection in which we review the strategy, what comes next, and whether proceeding together remains the right decision for both parties.
Each stage can be pursued standalone or combined sequentially as part of a broader engagement. Either way, the work starts from alignment on scope, objectives, and what success looks like.
Stage One:
Strategic Consulting
Before any significant decision, the right questions need to be answered honestly.
What are we genuinely trying to achieve?
Where are the real obstacles, and what would it take to remove them?
Which opportunities merit serious attention, and which are a distraction?
What does a credible path forward actually look like?
The output is a clear and grounded understanding of direction, priorities, and next steps.
Stage Two: Project Management Consulting
Strategy without execution is intention without outcome.
Once the brief and/or strategy is set, Frago & Co takes responsibility for driving delivery by coordinating professional teams, managing complexity, and maintaining the discipline to honour the original intent as projects develop.
Translating strategy into a structured, sequenced programme
Assembling and leading the right professional team
Managing stakeholders, risk, cost, and timeline
Acting as a single, accountable point of contact throughout
Who We Work With
Frago & Co works with a small number of clients at any one time: founders and leadership teams navigating transition, investors and developers with opportunities that require experienced structuring and delivery, and landowners and family estates seeking independent, long-term counsel on value creation and generational planning.
Engagements are selective and relationship led, and the starting point determines the structure.
Frago & Co Ltd is a registered company in England and Wales. Professional indemnity insurance is held at a level appropriate to the engagements we undertake, details of which are available on request.
Is This the Right Fit?
The best way to answer that is to look at the background, track record, and the work itself.

Client Reviews
“Frago has helped us move forward on several projects at the same time.Our projects include refurbishment of listed buildings venue, new builds, land development and rural estate rewilding.What could have resulted in lengthy and therefore expensive projects have instead become dynamic diverse projects with forward momentum”
Phil Hodgett
Chief Finance Officer - Nene Part Trust
“Engaging Frago & Co was one of the better decisions we made. From the outset, they did something we hadn’t experienced from other advisors: they asked the hard questions before any work began. Rather than rushing toward a solution, they pushed us to be honest about what we were actually trying to achieve, where the real obstacles sat, and which opportunities were worth pursuing and which were simply distractions.”
Alex Henney
Managing Director - Squab“James brings a rare combination of hands-on development expertise and proven business-building capability. As Senior Partner at Dudley Peverill Associates, I was keen to access both of these strengths, and his impact has been significant.”

If you are facing a decision that needs clear thinking or a project that needs experienced leadership to deliver, we would welcome a conversation.
We don't take on engagements speculatively. Every relationship starts with an honest discussion about whether there is a genuine fit in the work, timing, and the commitment required on both sides.
