Our Origins

Our branch was founded in January 2019, and our first projects began in November 2020. Since then, we have grown in size and capability, with our first implementation projects starting in January 2024. Our Network was conceptualised and realised in August 2024.

The Network

Our answer to those who don’t have enough time to be a consultant, those who just need a little extra support and those who are future-planning. Our network contains internship and graduate role application help, learning resources, access to a community of talented, driven individuals, and more. Learn from those who have gone through the exact same process as you - and succeeded in securing roles in prestigious firms, including MBB and boutique firms. Gain from their experience and use their resources by joining our network - which will give you access to all of this.
