About Us

Our values and why you should choose us

Fidelis, Latin, meaning trustworthy, dependable, reliable, constant and lasting The true embodiment of our core values and why we are the right choice for your business.

Our Philosophy

Our clients always know that they are engaging with a organisation who can deliver real value as well as generate a solid return on their investment. We only undertake assignments where we know we have the necessary skills and experience to deliver excellent solutions.

We know that building trust is vital to the establishment of long term, mutually beneficial business relationship and to that end we will make absolutely sure that we understand your needs.

We do use traditional methods and tools but we also understand that businesses are not ‘templates’ and each requires fresh innovative thinking.

“The most important lesson I have learnt is that simplicity is key to improving process efficiency and business performance”.

With a track record of delivering solutions that improve the operational performance of businesses, he now helps organisations to improve efficiency, reduce costs and more importantly improve customer experience.

Our services must represent a prudent and low risk investment. Proposed solutions will clearly define and quantify the benefit or outcome, projected costs and timescales.

Our pricing options aim to be simple, flexible and ensure that the client feels comfortable with the commercial proposition and return on their investment.

Shared Value

This model is appropriate where we agree to implement a results based charging mechanism. As with the fixed price model the benefit, cost and deliverables are defined in advance. A share of the fee is invoiced on commencement. The balance of the fee (which may be proportional and linked to formal metrics) will not become due until the benefits have been delivered.

Agreed Day Rate

Competitive day rates which are linked to specified deliverables and quality. Fees are invoiced as they are incurred.

Fixed Price Model

The scope of work, output/deliverables, and business benefits are defined and agreed with you prior to commencement. A fixed fee is then derived to deliver the project, irrespective of the actual time and effort taken to complete. Payments are typically made at agreed milestones during the assignment.

In today’s challenging economic climate, business transformation and improvement are vital to long term growth and in some cases short term survival.

Our clients are typically medium sized organisations. We work hard to deliver the best performance and value from their supply chain, business systems and outsourced service arrangements.

We are small enough to be responsive which enables us to deliver short engagement and project life-cycles  This means that we are ideally positioned to deliver change and a return on investment more quickly.

Everything that we do embraces our core values:-

We believe that organisations with a perceived high level of trust are often successful.  Trust is earned and we continually evaluate our actions to ensure that we demonstrate transparency, honesty, and integrity. Most importantly, we do what we say we are going to do.

We focus on the benefit to the client. There must be a tangible result (cost saving, efficiency or perhaps new product/service) that will help the client achieve its targets or business objectives.

We are clear on our strengths and service proposition. Providing value AND quality to our clients is key to the development of lasting partnerships.

All of our consultants are affiliate members of the Institute of Consulting (IC) who are an organisation within the Chartered Management Institute (CMI).

The Institute sets the standards for the profession by way of a code of conduct and accreditation processes which ensures that members of the IC are of the highest standard.

We are proud to partner with
