Our Consultants
Our highly experienced and qualified consultants take pride in adding real value to organisations and individuals. In addition to our core team we can also call on the services of trusted Associates, where we need their particular specialist knowledge or sector expertise. This enables us to offer a flexible consulting model where we can act as advisor, coach, facilitator or hands-on contributor, as required.
Results focused and taking a holistic approach, our consultants have strong academic backgrounds coupled to broad sector knowledge and are passionate about service, quality and delivery. Many have held leadership positions themselves. From business processes and working practices to culture, values and behaviours, we can provide the skills and experience to deliver the outcomes our clients require.
Leadership and Central Support
The small central support team based at the Coach House is a vital part of the Berkshire operation, acting as the coordinating hub, ensuring the smooth flow of information that enables our consultants to focus on working with clients.
