ALPHA SPG
Alpha SPG
We help mining companies unlock the savings in their cost base and get the high-value projects over the line.
of total cost is external spend — yet it's rarely managed with the rigor applied internally. That gap is where the opportunity lives.
How we find margins
Cost Diagnostic & Reduction
We review your cost base, external and internal spend, price and usage, and assess exactly where the opportunity is, tested against the market and your own people. That diagnostic can stand on its own, or lead straight into reduction, which we drive two ways:
A tailored strategy for each high-value category, benchmarked against market pricing and grounded in spend history, specifications and contract terms. We run the renegotiation ourselves, or alongside your team.
Dozens of categories too small to prioritize on their own. We consolidate and run them at scale through a single process, rationalising your supplier base as the small numbers add up to a material one.
Commercial Transformation as a Service
These projects matter, but there's never enough internal capacity to run them. We embed as Chief of Staff or Special Projects Director, running your Capex, commercial, procurement or finance initiatives to completion, and building the operating model and governance that make the gains stick.
One Sector. Total Depth.
Resources is the only sector we work in. So when we say we understand your categories, we mean it.
Where We've Already Worked
Meet Our Founder
Timur Abenov
Timur launched his career at Ernst & Young, progressing to Senior Financial Auditor within the Industrials and Energy practice (metals & mining, oil & gas, construction sectors), and obtained a UK chartered accountant qualification within 2 years. He then moved into private equity at Verny Capital, one of Kazakhstan's largest private equity and investment management groups. A decade at McKinsey & Company followed, moving from Business Analyst to Associate Partner across the Sydney and Kazakhstan offices, with leadership roles in McKinsey Australia's Mining Practice. That experience gave him a close view of where mining companies could capture more value from their spend. In 2024, he founded Alpha SPG to help them do exactly that.
