Our Vision is to become the leading privately owned consultancy in the South of England, differentiating ourselves from the large corporates, being a best place to work and a leader in the market in each of our disciplines/specialisms.

2021/22 was a successful year for the business exceeding our expectations.

When setting the business plan before the start of the year covid uncertainty was still around but there were positive signs that we would be able to continue to work and grow followinga Covid restricted year in 20/21.

The plan included growth but took into account that uncertainty.

The year grew stronger as it went on with both existing and new clients providing a strong demand for our services.

All teams were busy.

We exceed the business plan and achieve a very positive year with consolidated turnover up nearly £4m, an increase of over 30% on the previous year, with a greater improvement in profitability to an increase of 171% on the previous covid affected year.

Thebusiness remained cash positive and during this year improved our cash position by over £950k.

Moving into 22/23 we as a group are planning to achieve further growth in turnover of 11.5% with a further improvement in profitability.

A this point in time 6 monthinto our financial year we have almost secured this year's business plan revenue and look like we can grow beyond the plan.
