Mission & Vision

Our Mission & Vision

To be the SME that leads by example—enabling people and businesses to de-risk their futures and fulﬁl their potential through the progressive development of capability via projects. We envision a future where individuals and organisations conﬁdently navigate volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity by embracing purposeful project delivery, capability-building, and performance partnerships.

P34B empowers people and businesses to grow through projects. We equip individuals and organisations with the skills, tools, and mindsets they need to lead projects and teams—establishing sustainable, market-leading capabilities that attract talent, investment, and opportunity.

We do this by simplifying complexity, reducing ambiguity, and accelerating progress through structured support, mentoring, and real-world delivery.

P34B Approach: Projectising with Purpose

P34B’s approach is built on the belief that every challenge is an opportunity—and every opportunity can be projectised. This means treating ideas, goals, and improvements as structured, purposeful projects. Whether it’s a business transformation, a skills gap, or a community initiative, P34B applies project thinking to unlock progress.

At the heart of this approach is a commitment to real-world delivery. P34B doesn’t just teach or advise—it works alongside individuals and organisations to deliver hands-on, high-impact projects that build capability, conﬁdence, and momentum.

Learning, doing and conﬁdence building.

Why we do it

We do it to grow people and businesses—through projects that matter.

At P34B, we believe that projects are the most powerful way to build capability, conﬁdence, and connection. Our work helps individuals discover their potential, businesses unlock their performance, and communities secure their future. We do it to:

Create opportunity: We help people learn about themselves and evolve their ambitions through real-world experiences.

Build capability: We support individuals and organisations to develop the skills, structures, and conﬁdence they need to lead and deliver

Reduce risk and increase legacy: We embed 34 tangible opportunities to optimise capital investment, improve delivery efficiency, and strengthen succession planning

Enable others to grow: We aim to beneﬁt 34 others for every one of us—through mentoring, placements, partnerships, and purposeful delivery

Prove that projects can change lives: We don’t just deliver projects—we use them to build futures, one person and one business at a time.

"During my time at P34B, I have significantly developed my project management skills using the APM framework. I have also developed new skills in data and analytics, particularly with Power BI, becoming a competent user and report creator."

Lancashire based SME,

“this is how true collaboration feels”

Capability Lead - UK Infrastructure,

“I’d like to connect you up with Neil Horner, Founder and Director of P34B . To be honest ,recommendation of an external SME is something I very rarely do , however in the case of Neil and P34B , it’s an exception I am pleased to make . Their business approach is very different from other SME’s we have experienced, the opposite of the “ land and expand “ model, more very personal, super collaborative , tailored to specific needs, and I guess most importantly for us, delivery of outcomes”

Head of Project Services for UK Infrastructure Client,

"It was a pleasure working with you on what will be our first of many projects… [our client xxx] stated they had previously worked with consultants with varying results and were initially reticent of our ability to develop a necessary understanding of their business and recommendations [particularly] with the majority of interviews taking place remotely. We clearly have a likeminded approach to our values and behaviours both from a personal and work aspect and I do feel this created a relaxed and effective environment which gave is the right foundation for this project. [The client management team] were delighted with the end result. (John) Emerald Consulting."

Peer SME and Partner,

“a very insightful approach and brought the leadership team on the journey to explore current ways of working with a view to identify a next generation, more efficient way of working across our portfolio. We now have a clear pathway to further develop the (client) way in project management and construction across our new stores and extensive redevelopments of existing stores."

Director of Property,

Procurement and Cost Transformation

“The team's been great. I've really got a lot out of the project management sessions. The support from the team has been really good; the ability to go in the clinics and drop an e-mail, or book in a one-to-ones with the likes of Ethan and Chris being really, really useful all the way"
