Index Consultants Experience. Judgement. Results.
Index Consultants is an independent consultancy providing financial, commercial and operational advice to businesses, investors, lenders and asset owners.
Index Consultants
Founded by Rob Wilkinson, co-founder of CWU Capital and a qualified Master Mariner (Unlimited), the consultancy draws upon extensive experience in secured lending, investment management, business ownership and the management of high-value assets.
A particular strength lies in managing complex and distressed investments, identifying opportunities where conventional approaches may fall short, and developing practical strategies to protect and recover value.
Our approach combines commercial experience with a disciplined understanding of risk, developed through a career spanning financial services, maritime operations and high-value asset management.
We undertake individual consultancy assignments, ongoing advisory engagements and selected Non-Executive Director appointments, alongside specialist maritime and expedition-related work.

Our Approach to Risk
Effective risk management is not simply about avoiding risk. It is about understanding the exposure, anticipating potential difficulties and making informed decisions.
Our approach has been shaped by professional maritime command, the management of substantial physical assets and extensive experience in secured lending and investment.
We combine careful assessment with commercial creativity, recognising that difficult situations often require solutions beyond the conventional options.
