We have contacts with a large number of the people who support and introduce business to us.

We are able to obtain listings with ease and support others through this process.

We are classified as a Premier Practice with the Institute of Consulting (part of the Chartered Management Institute). This gives us a standing above most sole practitioner consultants. We are an awarding practice to enable consultants to become Certified Management Consultants.

Our management system is certified to ISO:9001 2015, by a UKAS accredited certification body.

We will support you in your growth as a consultant by adding new skills. We carry out reviews with consultants using the Institute of Consulting model for development. We provide training and CPD and access to group training when the time is right.

We also operate quality assurance of our services providing guidance and peer review for all projects. This helps to ensure a continuing high standard of work to maintain and enhance our reputation in the marketplace.
