THE PATH TO PROSPERITY – CONSULTANCY BENCHPRESS RESULTS AND THE VOICE OF THE CLIENT
Now in its fourth year, Consultancy BenchPress has become the definitive benchmarking survey and insight-led event for boutique consultancies across the UK & Ireland with revenues under £30m.
Despite the economic uncertainty facing much of the sector, a significant number of consultancies are not just surviving – they’re outperforming the market. What are they doing differently? What gives them the edge? This year’s BenchPress event will uncover the answers.
Whether you’re facing headwinds or enjoying record growth, this is your opportunity to gain rare insights, directly from the data – and from the buyers who matter most.
This year’s event also includes a ‘voice of the client’ panel discussion. Three seasons buyers will give you a clearer understanding of what truly influences buying decisions, practical ways to build stronger, longer-lasting client relationships and ideas you can apply the next day to increase your win rate and client loyalty.
What to expect
Join a room full of ambitious consultancy leaders, clients, growth experts, and specialist providers for an afternoon of insight, challenge, and connection.
