Clients

We have built strong partnerships with companies in most manufacturing, distribution and service sectors. Many of our clients are large multinational businesses but we also work for mid-ranking publicly-quoted, private companies and smaller organisations. Sometimes we are introduced to a business by the venture capital company that has invested in it. And the skills that we have acquired in the private sector are also appreciated by new clients in public and not-for-profit organisations. We have completed major reviews of costs, processes and people in large government departments, and restructured non departmental public bodies.

A consistent theme in Collinson Grant’s work is the longevity and breadth of our collaboration with clients. We are privileged to know many enterprises well and their managers even better. It builds a degree of trust that is seldom matched in other business relationships. A longer perspective has allowed us to make steady progress. To find out more about some of our work with clients go to Case studies.
