“We often work with Eden McCallum rather than traditional consulting firms because, when we compare the teams person for person, we get more experienced resources for a lower price. That’s what I call great value.”

“Eden McCallum people are typically more experienced than those you get from a conventional firm. They’re often more advanced in their careers, 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. But what’s really special about them – it’s the cost. They’re great value.”

“I want to work with consultants who have no egos and who can work alongside my team. 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. To me, what’s special about them is their absolute integrity.”

“Eden McCallum are different: they listen to us, and they take the time to understand our business and to build relationships with our people. 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. They’re absolutely excellent and very special.”
