Why Blueground?
I have had the privilege of working with many great clients and quality consulting firms and this has given me the opportunity to identify many positive aspects of consulting practices. Taking the best of these practices and combining them to provide really focused consulting services can increase value to clients and can create a business of the highest quality that is fun and satisfying to be part of.
In Blueground, I see an opportunity to harness the expertise of talented people who want to focus on client work. Our agile working model means we can provide a full service offering, delivered by the highest calibre individuals - and do this with much less complexity and cost than large scale practices.
