The Warranty Group

After supporting the Warranty Group on a continental European Sales & Marketing restructuring, Recast Partners were approached by owners TPG to turnaround the UK business which was in decline.

We worked closely with the leadership team to create a data-driven plan of how to return the business to growth by identifying target customer segments, refreshing the value proposition and restructuring the go-to-market strategy.

TWG UK fully implemented the strategy, posting double digit annual growth and the majority of the European group’s incremental profit.
