Godfrey Consulting is an operating advisory platform supporting industrial and infrastructure businesses pursuing buy-and-build strategies.
We work with private equity sponsors, family offices and portfolio leadership teams to integrate acquisitions, strengthen operating discipline and bring structure to complex, asset-intensive businesses operating in contract-driven environments.
Our experience spans multi-site operations, procurement portfolios exceeding $500M, major capital programs and regulated infrastructure across Australia and the Asia-Pacific, with the ability to coordinate seamlessly with sponsors and advisers across EMEA, North America and North Asia.
Godfrey Consulting is led directly by Liam Godfrey MBA GAICD, who brings 18 years of experience operating Australian industrial services businesses and now deploys that experience in an advisory capacity to investors and platform leadership teams.
We support the development of integrated industrial platforms engineered for scalability, resilience and exit readiness.
“Unlike traditional transaction advisors, Liam remains engaged beyond completion. His oversight during integration and early operating cycles ensured capital was protected, leadership was aligned, and long-term platform value was built deliberately.”
Principal- Multi-Generational Family Office
“Godfrey Consulting brought operational control to a complex, asset-intensive environment. Capital risk reduced, governance cadence strengthened, and management focus shifted from firefighting to performance.”
Chair- Private Equity Backed Infrastructure Business
“We engaged Liam after recognising that strategy alone would not unlock the platform’s potential. He imposed operating discipline, clarified leadership accountability, and ensured our acquisitions translated into performance, not complexity. The difference was visible within the first reporting cycle.”
Managing Director- Mid-Market PE Fund
“Liam doesn’t advise from the sidelines. He embeds quickly, aligns management to the investment thesis, and executes. Integration discipline improved reporting cadence within the first quarter and unlocked measurable margin expansion.”
