Working with us.
Consultancy
When you’re facing complex challenges or big opportunities, you don’t need generic advice, you need focused support from someone who gets it.
Our bespoke consultancy offers exactly that: clear thinking, practical action, and deep expertise across strategy, systems, leadership, and operations. And where specialist insight is needed, we bring in our trusted network of associates to ensure you have the right expertise at the table. We work with you to tackle what matters most and make change that sticks.

Bespoke support, built around what you need
We offer consultancy support across five core areas: operations, systems, leadership, organisational development, and stakeholder strategy.
Whether you're streamlining how your business runs, developing your team, or navigating complex change, we bring the right expertise to move things forward.
We've worked with SME’s, public organisations, and third sector leaders, and every engagement is tailored, practical, and designed to deliver real impact where you need it most.
Here’s how we typically support clients:
Business Operations Consultancy
From missed handovers to patchy communication and unclear accountability, operational issues can hinder a great business. We work with you to identify the blockers, streamline your processes, and build practical systems that support day-to-day delivery and long-term growth. Whether it’s defining team roles, improving workflows, or shaping an operating model that fits your stage of business, we’ll help you make the shift from firefighting to focused execution.
Organisational Development
As your organisation evolves, what worked before often starts to break down. We support you through change, whether that’s a restructure, growth in team size, or shifting how people work together. We help you design roles, clarify responsibilities, strengthen team culture, and embed new ways of working that stick. Always people-first. Always grounded in the reality of running a business.
Leadership Development
Founders and senior leaders often carry the weight of the whole business, and as the team grows, the leadership approach needs to grow too. We work with founders, exec teams, and emerging leaders to build self-awareness, strengthen team communication, and develop leadership capacity across the business. From one-to-one coaching to group sessions, we help leaders lead with clarity and purpose.
Systems + Process Consultancy
When your business outgrows its DIY systems, things start to slip. We help you spot where time is being wasted, where tech could help, and what’s holding your team back. Then we map and improve your workflows, recommend the right tools, and support you to implement automations and SOPs that reduce stress and support scale.
Campaigns + Stakeholder Strategy
If you’re planning something that needs people on board - a big change, a public campaign, a new partnership - we’ll help you shape the story and strategy. With a background in high-impact campaigns and stakeholder engagement, we work with you to clarify your goals, build your narrative, and plan for meaningful impact.
