The Company was founded with two key objectives:

First, to provide an end-to-end service covering everything from:

  • Defining requirements
  • Developing a technical design
  • Building and testing; to
  • Training and on-going support

Second, to build great client relationships that last, rather than just focus solely on individual projects.

Our team is made up of consultants from all over the world; something we are very proud of. We employ consultants from as far afield as Australia, Russia, India and the USA, as well as the United Kingdom. This 'world-flavour’ compliments our diverse, multi-national client base.

Our client focus

We focus primarily on:

  • FTSE 500 companies
  • Top end SME businesses between £100m and £500m turnover; and
  • What we call ‘interesting’ businesses; i.e. businesses who are doing something different or innovative from the mainstream

So if you fall into one of these categories, we would like to talk.

With clients located across a number of time zones: we have learned to manage requests for help and assistance at some unearthly UK hours, so we know all about ‘going the extra mile’ for our clients. To us, that’s just the norm.

Our Team

There are absolutely, positively no contractors or offshore labour and there is no outsourcing. Just 100% our consultants.

Like those smoothie advertisements, we promise you 100% real ingredients. No e-numbers and no watered-down products.

We don’t outsource or offshore our work and we don’t use contractors. All our consultants are full time employees of ours and are based with our clients on site in most cases. This way, we believe, you get both the commitment and the best results. After all, you can’t beat good, old fashioned, face-to-face contact.

So, if you are looking for the cheapest deal in town, or something done quick and dirty, we aren’t going to be right for each other.

Why work with us?

What we believe makes us unique in our market is:

  • The technical excellence of our consultants
  • Their commercial astuteness; and
  • Our ability to develop great relationships with our clients

Both founding directors were consultants with PriceWaterhouseCoopers (PwC). Our PwC heritage makes us unique in the sense that you are partnering with a team who are there – first and foremost - to help you solve problems and deliver great solutions.
