supporting other colleagues in the business on related assignments. We also manage project teams with

associate consultants working on them.

We are good learners, curious, invariably busy and juggling a range of different clients at any one

moment in time. We take continuous improvement seriously and invest time in considering how we can

improve and innovate, as well as supporting each other to be our best.

strategy and governance; business and financial planning; regulation and troubleshooting; business

transformation; asset management and development; mergers and growth; regeneration and stock

We are a well-established practice, now in our twenty first year. Over that time, we have worked

with nearly 800 organisations - government departments and agencies, trade bodies, councils,

housing associations, care providers, sports governing bodies, leisure trusts, charities, and

commercial businesses. We have a fantastic first-time success rate in leadership recruitment; a high-

quality consultancy offer; repeat and new clients; a strong market share with resources for

expansion; and an unrivalled reputation for service quality and value. This adds up to a brand that

speaks of reliability, quality, honesty, imagination and verve.

We are not simply in this business to make money. Yes, we are a commercial operation, but we care
