> Fixed & mobile assets

A complete view of the estate’s operational foundation emerges when fixed infrastructure, mobile equipment, and workflow behaviour are assessed through a practical, engineering-led lens. Every element influencing production, service flow, reliability, and guest experience is examined to reveal where ageing assets, constrained capacity, or inefficient deployment create strain. By pairing on-site reviews with benchmark comparisons, we show how current conditions differ from industry-standard performance. This clarity highlights targeted upgrades, cost-saving opportunities, and sequencing priorities that strengthen margins, stabilise operations, and provide a dependable base for future growth and investor confidence.

Why it matters	When production buildings, cellar systems, utilities and guest spaces age or drift out of alignment with operational needs, estates face hidden cost, inefficiency and service pressure. Poor layouts, capacity limits and compliance gaps can constrain throughput, weaken guest experience and quietly erode profitability. Understanding the condition of fixed assets protects long-term performance.
Our focus	We assess structural condition, capacity limits, cellar cooling and utility reliability, waste-handling efficiency, safety and compliance gaps, and guest-facing infrastructure. Layout logic, access, bottlenecks and environmental influences are mapped to show how each area affects production flow, cost exposure and visitor experience across the estate.
Outcome	Owners gain a clear, sequenced set of actions that restore reliability, improve service rhythm and reduce operational strain. The findings support targeted upgrades, protect compliance, enhance guest quality and strengthen the estate’s ability to operate confidently through seasonal change, peak periods and future development.

Mobile Assets Review

Asset Benchmark Review

Why it matters	Machinery, vineyard equipment and vehicles directly influence production pace, labour efficiency and service reliability. Ageing assets, downtime risk or poor serviceability slow operations and increase cost. Without clarity on where mobile assets underperform, estates struggle to maintain consistent output and predictable guest-facing service.
Our focus	We review machinery condition, maintenance history, utilisation patterns, availability losses, workflow impact, operating cost and serviceability. Vineyard equipment, logistics vehicles and hospitality-support assets are assessed for role, efficiency and performance. We identify underperforming equipment, replacement priorities and operational gaps that constrain daily rhythm.
Outcome	The estate receives a prioritised view of upgrades, cost-effective replacements and optimisation opportunities that stabilise performance and reduce waste. Improved reliability, safer operation and sharper deployment support a smoother production cycle and a more dependable guest experience across seasons.

Why it matters	Knowing the condition of assets is valuable; knowing how far they sit from modern performance standards is transformative. Benchmarking reveals uplift potential, exposes hidden cost, and clarifies which improvements generate the greatest return. It also gives investors and partners a factual basis for confidence.
Our focus	We benchmark fixed and mobile assets against industry norms for capacity, efficiency, reliability and operating cost. Using data from the first two reviews, we model uplift potential, capacity recovery, workflow improvement and cost stability as assets would perform under well-maintained, contemporary standards.
Outcome	Owners receive clear performance gaps, achievable targets and evidence-based investment pathways. This enables smarter sequencing, stronger cost control, improved production consistency and a credible operational narrative that supports planning, development decisions and investor engagement.
