A reflection on Partnership:

As an LLP we are an Open Enterprise, Social Business of diverse professional practitioners, each with distinct and particular skills.

We share a common aim - that of putting social outcome as a target ahead of profitability.

This can, in recessionary times, for a consultancy, be a difficult line to tread, but we have maintained our position well into our second decade now.

We take an equalities driven, Enlightenment view, and believe this and a commonality of purpose are the core drivers for partnership working in any community.

Fresh thinking and accounting?

We work across the UK and Internationally.

We have a business presence in Norfolk UK, Hong Kong and Australia.

Conversations and original project insights from our Partnership team are shared freely - always.

We will always confirm our detailed workflow and billing details in a service supply quotation (SSQ) ahead of any commission - always.

Our business centres and banking are fully tax compliant, both in the UK and overseas...

How we work…

Our Partnership is an agile and flexible professional services team. We can develop and manage projects, deliver training and board level support to organisations in our sector, as well as use our social business skills in support of organisations.

Our team has a wide variety of experience and skill across education, literacy, governance and community enterprise.

Our delivery is tempered by practical ethical business creation in the development of our own trading styles and enterprise led projects - see more on our About Us page here.

We are always happy to take a refreshing look at projects, new and existing, in order to help you add value, creatively deliver and spend to budget...

This month’s inspirational quotation…it helps to keep us going in difficult times…

“A business that makes nothing but money is a poor business.”

Henry Ford
(July 30, 1863 – April 7, 1947) was an American industrialist and business magnate, founder of the Ford Motor Company, and chief developer of the assembly line technique of mass production.
