What we do
Other consulting firms tend to work to their logic and rhythm, but Eden McCallum people don't just adjust to our culture, they bring energy, inspiration and personal commitment to my team.
David Sanderse, CEO, Marsh & Mercer
Former MD, Achmea
With Eden McCallum, I get high-calibre consultants, delivering the high quality answers I need, without a feeling of intrusion and disruption to business.
Jeroen Drost, CEO, SHV Holdings NV
Former MD, NPM Capital; CEO, NIBC Bank
Eden McCallum has very talented and capable people, but they are also prepared to listen to what we say and to design projects around what we need, not what they think we should have.
Robin Lee, CEO, HelloGold
Former CFO, World Gold Council
Working with Eden McCallum we were not just on the receiving end of analysis; we went on a journey and created a strategy together.
Jat Sahota, Partner, Inbeta.io
Former Head of Pharmacy and Healthcare, Sainsbury's
Eden McCallum are different: They bring the professional rigour you’d expect, but work in a more inclusive fashion – gentle on the surface, but steely underneath. They’re never afraid to challenge and they don’t allow us to duck difficult decisions, but do so with grace, sympathy, and humour.
Dawn Airey, Non-Exec Director
Former SVP EMEA, Yahoo!; President CLT UFA; Chairman and CEO, Channel Five
The fit of the Eden McCallum consultants - their experience and their ability to integrate with our teams - is what really makes the difference and gives projects tangible business impact.
Tim Hammond, Chair, NED
Former CEO, Four Seasons Healthcare; Elior; Barchester Healthcare
Eden McCallum always bring in grown-up people who have learnt things in the trenches. They know what it means to bring about change, to get people to do things differently.
Bas Alblas, Board Member
Former CEO Lamb Weston
Eden McCallum people are typically more experienced than those you get from a conventional firm…so there’s plenty of real-world experience to draw on. Like all clever people, they make complicated things sound simple, but they’re willing to listen to us, rather than do all the talking.
Derek Harding, Chief Financial Officer, Spectris PLC
Former CFO ShopDirect; Senior plc; and UK FD Wolseley plc
The expertise that the people from Eden McCallum have brought to us was really world class – I mean it was superb…
Tex Gunning, CEO, LeasePlan
Former CEO, TNT Express; MD, Decorative Paints, AkzoNobel
What stands out to us is that their consultants are typically more experienced people who are prepared to challenge us; they’re not looking ahead to the next project.
Chris Rogers, Chairman, Wickes plc
Former MD Costa Coffee, CFO Whitbread
You always get straight talk from them. They go quickly to the answer.
Roland van Dijk, Global Director, Corporate Development
You want to use Eden McCallum because you really want to enable change and bring in a team that actually understands where things have been and where things are going.
Wim Ponnet, CEO, FanTechCap
Former CSO & CCO, Endemol Shine Group
There have been very complex strategic choices that we have had to make, and without their expertise, their insights, and their challenge we wouldn’t have been able to make as clear-cut and good decisions that have then translated into much better sales.
Flemming Morgan, Partner, The Preston Associates
Former President, Nutricia Advanced Medical Nutrition, Danone
They were amazingly resourceful, very much on the front foot, asked all the right questions and unscrambled the challenge. They gave us new insights – very forensic. A very different approach to the big consultancy firms.
Darren Shapland, Chair, Topps Tiles plc
Former CEO Carpetright plc & Former CFO Sainsbury’s
I find their approach very efficient…they get us to the endgame a lot faster.
Julia Calabrese, Chair, McArthurGlen Group
Former CEO, McArthurGlen Group
The combination of people who are well trained by the global consulting firms, but have got a bit more real world experience, makes them just better at understanding how to get stuff actually done... They get under the skin of how we think far faster than some of the bigger consulting firms.
Dido Harding, Member, UK House of Lords
Former CEO, TalkTalk plc
Eden McCallum impresses on every level: the care they take in understanding and meeting client needs, the sheer quality of the consultants they select for assignments, and the genuine interest the whole team demonstrates in ensuring the outcome is successful – and sustainable.
Angus Somerville, Chair, Independent Monitoring Board, HMP/YOI Winchester
Former Chief Executive, Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability
The Eden McCallum team were fast, responsive, insightful and a pleasure to work with.
David Taylor-Smith, Chairman and Private Equity Advisor
Former CEO, phs
They distil what the big strategy firms do into its pure form. It’s just a group of very clever people, working alongside the customer, finding an answer... It’s just a different way of working.
Roland van Dijk, CEO, Fokker Services Group
Former Board Member, Arcadis
With the bigger consultancy companies, you’re always sort of squeezed into their format and you’ll have to basically follow them, whereas with Eden McCallum they apply models, practices, based on the situation that you have
Rob Versloot, CEO, Hero
They’re mould-breaking – a bit disruptive. They’re more in tune with the way everything is evolving with this more tailor-made, more specific, more attentive to what each client’s needs are
Flemming Morgan, Partner, The Preston Associates
Former President, Nutricia Advanced Medical Nutrition, Danone
I believe that Eden McCallum's proposition is the consulting model of the future. They give us high quality consulting while offering complete flexibility to tailor team size and composition to our needs.
Tex Gunning, CEO, LeasePlan
Former CEO, TNT Express; MD, Decorative Paints, AkzoNobel
It was really clear that these guys wanted to be on the project with us. They were really energized by hitting a sweet spot where they felt that they could add value. We had a fantastic team. It was great to work with them and that made all the difference
Serena Lang, Chair, Eleco plc
The Eden McCallum uniqueness is that they are agile, pragmatic, and much more focused – in my experience – on the client than on the long-term relationship building, and actually the irony of that is that they build great long-term relationships as a result.
Dido Harding, Member, UK House of Lords
Former CEO, TalkTalk plc
They pull together the right team for the job in hand, ... as a result, we get incredibly high-quality people and a very, very coherent and impressive team set-up
David Leigh, CEO, AMS
Former CEO Study Group; SHL Group
It’s a firm that engages with its clients with a focus on delivering a result – not just delivering a project.
Dano Lister, CEO, Balcan Innovations Inc.
Former Division President, GREIF
They are actually very good at leaving us, at making sure that they exit so that we own what we’re doing, and we really implement it. And that’s a very rare trait in consulting firms.
Dido Harding, Member, UK House of Lords
Former CEO, TalkTalk plc
