Our Clients
What can a bank learn from a train company?
We work with clients in different market sectors and countries with different cultures and business models. We have worked with global companies, SMEs’, B2B, B2C, Government Agencies and Not-for-Profits.
Despite all these apparent differences, they are often addressing surprisingly similar challenges. Without exception they are all having to adapt to change and recognise they need help to manage the ‘soft stuff.’
So lessons learned in a company that builds train systems, can often be transferred to a completely different sector, such as Banking or global Health Care. Why reinvent the wheel when you can learn from the experience of others?
That's why we say our clients teach us everything we know.
Judge us by the company we keep:

Ad hoc marketing consultancy projects for a host of SME’s and Start-Ups.
In each case the client wanted an additional injection of strategic thinking, specialist expertise and creative flair to compliment and challenge their in house capabilities.
Sometimes it's a simple phone conversation where a client is looking to ‘bounce an idea around’ with someone who knows their business and who has a different perspective.
The more we know about their business, the more we can contribute and the virtuous circle begins.
Our clients are not defined by size, but by a willingness to improve. We work with start-ups and sole trader, as well as with major multinationals with operations that span the world.
What they have in common, is a belief in the importance of ‘qualitative’ management; managing the ‘softer’ aspects of a business; the people, culture, reputation, communications, brand, as well as the more common ‘quantitative’ aspects. An ‘openness’ to new ideas and new ways of doing things, a commitment to quality and who believe in building longer term, mutually beneficial relationships with business partners.
