Best in class

The UK consulting industry is recognised as one of the best in the world and it is a vital part of the country’s business landscape.

Management consulting has grown significantly in recent years. In 2018 the UK consulting market grew by 5.6% to £8.2bn, represents a 7 % global market share - making it one of the largest in Europe. There is a strong domestic client demand for consulting services, and the sector is forecast to continue to grow strongly. One of the key features of the management consulting sector in the UK is the concentration of activity amongst a few large and medium-sized international firms at one end of the spectrum, and a large number of boutique specialist firms at the other end.
