International workforce advisory. Private investment. Selective acquisitions.

Oakley Beaumont combines specialist international workforce compliance expertise with private investment and selective acquisition activity. We advise recruitment businesses, workforce providers and end clients, and deploy capital into businesses where operating experience and long-term commitment can add value.

International Workforce Advisory

The detail behind a workable workforce model.

Cross-border workforce arrangements rarely fail for one reason. The commercial model, employment structure, mobility position, supply chain and local requirements need to work together.

  • International workforce compliance
  • Workforce solution design and sourcing
  • Worker classification and engagement models
  • Payroll and employment structures
  • Cross-border working and postings
  • Social security and A1 requirements
  • Right to work and workforce mobility
  • Recruitment supply-chain compliance
  • Contractor book audits and risk reviews
  • Provider and solution due diligence
  • Collective bargaining agreements
  • International market entry
  • Construction and project workforce compliance
  • Commercial workforce strategy

Our Perspective

Specialist expertise, viewed through an owner's lens.

Oakley Beaumont brings together two connected perspectives: hands-on knowledge of how international workforce solutions are structured, sourced and operated, and a principal's approach to investment, acquisition and long-term value creation.

Founded by Alex Thomas, the company works directly with businesses that value informed challenge, commercial clarity and practical execution.

What We Do

01

Advisory

International workforce compliance. Commercially applied.

We help recruitment businesses, workforce providers and end clients structure, source and operate compliant cross-border workforce solutions.

Our advice is grounded in direct sector experience and designed to work in practice, not only on paper.

02

Private Investments

Own capital. Selective involvement.

We invest our own capital in businesses where commercial experience, strategic input and aligned decision-making can support sustainable growth.

We favour opportunities we understand and relationships built for the long term.

03

Acquisitions

Long-term ownership, approached directly.

We consider acquisitions of established businesses with sound fundamentals, defensible positions and clear scope to strengthen performance.

Our approach is discreet, principal-led and focused on building value over time.

Operator-led

Experience that reaches beyond the rulebook.

International workforce decisions affect pricing, delivery, client relationships and reputation as well as compliance. Oakley Beaumont understands those connections because its perspective has been shaped inside the sector.

The result is advice that identifies material risk, challenges weak assumptions and helps businesses choose a route they can actually operate.
