About Us
The Richmond Group is a friendly community and network of independent management consultants in South East England, although our network extends across the UK.
It supports consultant Members by providing professional development, practice development, and business development.
The Richmond Group of Independent Consultants Ltd was first constituted in October 1982.
It arose from the Sole Practitioners and Small Firms special interest group of the Institute of Management Consultancy (which is now the Institute of Consulting), which had been meeting regularly at a hotel in Richmond, Surrey.
With its cadre of senior, experienced members who bring exceptional skills and experience to assignments, the Richmond Group rivals many larger consultancies. Indeed, it is from these large consultancies that many of our Members have gained their consultancy training and experience at senior level, while others have held important positions in industry and commerce.
