“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.

“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."

“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"
