Consulting approach
Carrley® Business Consulting Ltd is a business consultancy, with offices in Cheshire and Manchester.
Our goal is simple – to help clients grow their business - and we have achieved this successfully in challenging conditions, such as the present UK economic downturn.
We do this by applying many years of cross-sector experience and harnessing proven tools and methodologies. We work in close partnership with you, quickly understanding what makes your business tick and identifying ways to achieve excellence. Unlike many of our competitors, however, we do not charge for getting to know your business.
Dependant upon the nature of the project, we support clients to win new funding, maximise existing income streams, access new markets and achieve optimum business efficiency. We also support you to make any operational changes necessary to take your business on to the next level, removing the "glass ceiling" which often holds established businesses back.
Our client list includes companies based in the following sectors:
ICT, commercial insurance, legal, financial services, productivity improvement, education, Further Education, Higher Education, business training, employability and workforce development, e-Learning, business support - including Business Links, Integrated Management Systems, social enterprise, sports clubs, fitness and leisure, care, social services, pharmaceuticals, marketing, retail, recruitment, architectural design, construction, engineering construction, building and maintenance, grounds maintenance, marine civil engineering, real estate, print, office supplies, industrial supplies, digital marketing, property, charities, not for profit, security services, transport, travel, food and catering and manufacturing. It includes the National Law Firm of the Year 2011 and the largest UK University.
In working with you, deliverables and methodology are identified at an early stage and correlated to growth in the business. That way, you know precisely what we will deliver and when. Our recommendations could also see organisational change – for example changes to team structures, reporting lines and core tasks and may involve either recruitment or downsizing in certain areas of the business. If this is the case, we have expert people available who will guide you through the best course of action to achieve positive change.
A member of our experienced and friendly team will be assigned to ensure that Carrley® Business supports you to get the best from your business. Once a plan of action has been agreed, we will get on with delivery of our role - whether leading on business planning, strategic development, change, or providing business training or tender consultancy. When working on a longer term project, we will meet regularly with you to communicate progress and discuss ongoing recommendations and you will always know where your project is up to.
Our services include business planning, business strategy, business development, specialist bid writing, change management, project management and eBusiness. Carrley® Business consultants have many years experience in these areas and have worked on past key projects with the former Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), the European Commission, Nortel Networks USA and British Chambers of Commerce.
We are a Fellow of the Institute of Business Consulting and a Certified Management Consultant (CMC). Carrley® Business adheres to the Institute’s Code of Professional Practice, maintaining the highest standards of integrity and competence. We are also a Member of the Association of Proposal Management Professionals (APMP) and maintain latest bid writing knowledge and competencies through the Association.
