Consumer

A client centric approach to our private and public consumer clients

Sector specialist; product agnostic solutions


The Consumer team at Cavendish prides itself on its extensive sector knowledge, comprehensive network and strong track record.

Our client led approach is focussed on building long-term, strategic and deep relationships and due to the differentiated nature of the Cavendish model, these clients include entrepreneurs, business founders and owners, private equity owners, PLC boards and management teams.

We have deep expertise in a number of sub-sector verticals, including:

  • Travel & Leisure
  • Retail (ecommerce, luxury, D2C)
  • Hospitality
  • Brands
  • Consumer goods and services

Across all of these sub-sectors and under the banner of “sector specialist; product agnostic”, we provide our clients with a range of products from IPO and public market advisory, to debt advice, to capital raising, to buy-side and sell-side M&A. 

So whether you want to sell your business, IPO your business or raise some private capital or debt, public capital or debt, we can advise on all or any of these, with the ultimate question to you, our client: “What do you want to achieve and what is the right funding structure to achieve this?”
