WHO WE ARE

We’re not just ‘consultants’.

Our guiding principle is to help each individual client find bespoke solutions to deliver effective change, achieve ambitions, and  grow future organisational capacity.  We’ll challenge where needed, but in a constructive, pragmatic and collaborative way.

We can work as dedicated advisors; as part of a wider professional team; or as in-house drivers of change – as you can see from our extensive experience  in our Portfolio.

We operate our business to achieve the maximum possible social value. This means trying to achieve the maximum social, economic and environmental well-being in everything we do, and avoiding causing harm. We do this by:

  • Using local goods and services where possible and practicable.
  • Using public transport or online meeting platforms by default, to reduce unnecessary travel and travel carbon footprint.
  • Recycling and using recycled products, eg. paper, printer ink, batteries, etc; procuring socially-responsible goods eg. certified Fairtrade and Ecocert Solidaire.
  • Using energy efficient devices, and ensuring they’re not left on standby when not in use.
  • Paying more than the living wage to all associates & support staff.
  • Using tools like ChromeLens to ensure our digital presence is accessible to those with visual impairments.
