Services

Three core areas of practice, for organisations at points of structural or strategic change.

Health & Care

Health and care systems are moving from routine checks towards needs-led care and measurable value. We help care home groups and supported living providers modernise night-time care, structure shared monitoring arrangements with accredited monitoring centres, and put consent, data protection and outcome measurement in place.

For councils and integrated care systems, we structure pilots, partnerships and funding bids. For European health and care technology companies, we support entry into the UK and Gulf markets.

Governance & Transformation

Board and committee effectiveness, risk frameworks and regulatory readiness, alongside operating model redesign and the consolidation of fragmented systems and processes into a single source of truth. Built to satisfy regulators, investors and funders alike.

Real Estate & Development Finance

Portfolio growth and integration, debt restructuring and refinancing, and compliance oversight on institutionally-backed and development finance programmes.

Approach

Built on institutional experience, applied practically.

Marchwood Advisory is built on direct operating experience as Chief Operating Officer, General Counsel and Company Secretary within institutionally-backed platforms, including work alongside the IFC and World Bank Group, and grounded further in international professional services at KPMG. Legal training and a call to the bar also inform the approach, with close attention paid to risk, structure and accountability throughout each engagement.

Recent work extends this into health, care and housing, where regulatory scrutiny, funder expectations and operational capacity all have to be managed together, including hands-on experience of evaluating and procuring care technology in UK residential care.

Engagements are resourced and scoped to the assignment, drawing on a wider network of specialists where the work calls for it.
