Frequently asked questions

Is Nem a private equity fund or a management consultancy?

Nem operates as a partner-owned management consultancy, not a private equity firm. It does not manage external capital or maintain a fund structure. Its model places senior operators directly inside client businesses on an engagement basis, covering strategy, operations and interim management rather than acquiring equity stakes.

How does Nem structure its engagements?

Nem partners work on a project or retainer basis, often embedding themselves in client organisations for periods ranging from short diagnostic sprints to multi-year mandates. Engagements typically combine strategic advisory with hands-on execution, and partners frequently collaborate across specialties when a client needs expertise outside a single partner's domain.

Does Nem invest its own capital or take equity in client companies?

The firm does not publicly report any proprietary investment vehicle or balance-sheet investing activity. Its revenue is generated through professional fees for advisory and management services rather than through equity appreciation or carried interest.

Which industries does Nem primarily serve?

The partner group covers manufacturing, agriculture and food production, healthcare and aesthetics, professional services, industrial operations, digital marketing and telecommunications. Recent public-sector work includes advisory support for the East Micronesia Cable project.

How is Nem governed and who makes strategic decisions?

The firm is led by its three founders — Noel Scully, John McKinstry and Andrew Jones — alongside a Board of Management that includes senior partners Gary Ayre, Andrew Dick, Glenn Mansfield and Colin Hannah. Decision-making authority sits with this group, though individual partners retain significant autonomy over their client engagements.
