Go further, faster.

What we offer

We offer advisory services to organizations in different sectors and at different stages of maturity, supporting their corporate development efforts throughout the business cycle. We work with both boards and executive leadership teams to realize their corporate goals. We focus in particular in supporting organizations seeking to:

1. Establish a meaningful presence in the Middle East. Whether you are looking to raise capital, secure a strategic partner or access the dynamic and growing market, we provide you with the support you need to ensure your organization can exceed its aspirations in the market.

2. Pursue portfolio actions (mergers, acquisitions, divestments). Perhaps you have identified where you want your organization to go but need to pursue a number of portfolio actions to be able to get there... Our team has seasoned M&A professionals who can manage that process all the way from sourcing the deals through negotiating the transaction to post-deal implementation support to secure you the outcomes you would like to get.

3. Seek access to differentiated capital. When seeking funding, the right investor is the one that can provide not just capital, but also de-risk your strategy and accelerate your value realization. If we are the right investor for you, we secure you access to that capital.

We look forward to discuss your goals and explore how we can help make it happen.

Our playbook

Corporate development is an area we know and like. Lock & Croft has developed a systematic, repeatable process for long-term value creation in corporate development activities which we use actively:

First, we incorporate long-term trend analysis, industry segment fundamentals and our unique perspectives to develop a differentiated perspective.

By identifying corporate development trends and opportunities early, we can proactively identify opportunities that align with existing themes and establish early relationships with those we believe can benefit from those trends.

Once we agree well-defined strategic and operational roadmaps, we leverage our network to secure the best expertise to ensure we deliver to a high standard.

Finally, we establish an implementation plan to ensure we can unlock value, accelerate timelines and manage risks. This oversight, combined with a systematic and continual review of progress versus plan, ensures value is not lost to poor execution.
 
We look forward to working with you on your own journey.

Our core values

Lock & Croft is committed to diversity. Our core values provide a shared vision of who we are and who we want to be. They bring us together and guide our behaviour, decisions and choices.

Integrity: We build trust through responsible actions and honest relationships; we say what we mean and we stand by our word.

Partnership: We build strong relationships based on mutual trust, respect and collaboration; we work together and support each other.

Accountability: We make sure it gets done reliably - on time, on spec, every time; we do what we say and own what we do.

Excellence: We ask deeper questions and strive to find the most impactful solutions; we seek to outperform, good enough is not good enough.

We look forward to sharing them with you.
