UP Consultancy

What UP Consultancy does

UP Consultancy is a privately held boutique management consultancy founded in 2012 in Istanbul, Turkey by Eşref Hamamcıoğlu, the former long-tenured CEO of SODEXO Turkey. The firm operates a B2B professional services model targeting private and public enterprises in the food & beverage, hospitality, catering, and broader service sectors. Its stated thesis is enabling the transition from organizational capability to profitability through leadership development, talent management, and performance management.

The firm delivers two integrated service lines. UP Facilities Management Solutions Design offers service supply chain management consulting that covers the full building lifecycle from project design through construction, pre-commissioning, and ongoing performance monitoring, with modules for outsourcing advisory, supervision and auditing, risk management, and operational streamlining. UP Corporate Consultancy provides corporate advisory modules covering marketing and sales, operations, corporate identity, M&A, and sustainability/corporate citizenship. There is no proprietary technology platform — the offering is human-delivered advisory work.

Commercially, UP generates revenue through bespoke consulting engagements priced via direct quotation. Customer logos span Turkey (BONFİLET, Hemel, KuzeYıldızı, Senior Assist), the UK (Alphasights), France (Vinci Facilities), Russia (UCG), and Morocco (OCP). The firm is bootstrapped, individually founder-owned, with a single named management team member and no disclosed funding rounds or institutional investors. Geographic reach is enabled through the founder's international network built during the SODEXO Turkey era rather than through local hires or offices abroad.
