In person, 2pm – 7pm
Location: Events @ No. 6
In-person
Consultancy BenchPress is now in its sixth year and remains the UK&I’s largest benchmarking study of consultancies, built on six years of data from 1,000+ firms. This session is your first look at the 2026 results, plus helping you make better decisions this year.
We will not just present charts. We will translate the data into the practical actions consultancy leaders are taking to protect margin, sharpen pricing and win growth in a tougher market.
More importantly, this is your opportunity to explore what the data means for your own consultancy with peers, Growth Experts and specialist partners in the room. Rather than reading the report in isolation, you will be able to discuss the findings live, compare how others are responding, ask questions specific to your business and leave with a clearer view of what to do next.
This year’s report will go deep on the most important questions consultancy leaders are asking right now, including:
- pricing and day rates: what firms are actually charging by role and how they are pricing work
- new business effectiveness: the biggest new business challenges leaders are facing, plus proposal-to-client conversion benchmarks
- existing clients: typical client value, relationship length, client concentration risk, and the most successful routes to growing accounts
- AI and measurable ROI: levels of investment net financial impact, the biggest blockers to ROI, and where leaders expect the greatest returns next
- core financial performance: confindence levels, gross margin and operating profit benchmarks, with the movements that matter most
- specialism breakdowns: we will exlusively reveal the day rates by consulting specialism, that you won’t get in the report.
