About Gurler Mae

    Built by an Operator. Not an Agency.

    Gurler Mae was founded to solve the problems most consultants don't understand, because they've never run a real-world business.

    Founder

    Emre Gurler

    Founder, Gurler Mae Group

    Emre Gurler has spent over a decade inside construction and property businesses, not advising from the outside, but building, operating, and scaling from within.

    Before founding Gurler Mae, he worked as a commercial and strategic partner to founders of construction firms, restructuring subcontract packages, rebuilding pipelines, and making the hard calls when margin tightened or a project slipped sideways.

    He founded Gurler Mae because he saw the same pattern in every £5M–£20M+ contractor he worked with: strong teams, good reputations, plenty of work, but no systems to scale without the founder holding everything together.

    Emre operates from Hertfordshire and works with construction and property business owners across the UK.

    What We Believe

    "Clarity is leverage."

    If your team can't explain how the business works without you, you don't have a system.

    "Install, don't advise."

    Strategy without implementation is entertainment. We build it, test it, and make it stick.

    "Speed is everything."

    The market rewards businesses that move fast and quote first. We build systems that make that possible.

    The Mae Framework

    Every client engagement follows the same four-phase methodology: Diagnose, Design, Install, Run. It's how we turn founder-dependent businesses into businesses that scale. Read more on our Strategic Advisory page.
