Leadership Consulting pricing
We publish our prices because we think you should know what something costs before you pick up the phone. All fees below are exclusive of VAT.
Three packages, clear scope
Each package is designed around a different level of commitment. The Focused package suits a single leader who wants targeted coaching. The Standard package works well for a leadership team of three to six people. The Partnership is for organisations that want sustained change over a full year, with ongoing access to our consultants.

- ✓ Written development plan after session two
- ✓ Email support between sessions (48-hour response)
- ✓ Final progress report with measurable outcomes
Standard
- ✓ Team diagnostic: interviews, mapping, and workshop
- ✓ Four 75-minute coaching sessions per team member

How we set our fees
Our pricing reflects the seniority of the consultants doing the work. Every engagement is led by someone with at least fifteen years of management experience. We do not use junior associates or subcontractors.
The prices above cover the most common configurations. If your situation does not fit neatly into one of these three packages, we will quote a fixed fee after a scoping call. We never bill by the hour because it creates the wrong incentive: the longer things take, the more we earn. Fixed fees mean we are motivated to get results efficiently.
Travel within Scotland is included. For engagements elsewhere in the UK, we add actual travel costs at the time of booking, typically between £80 and £250 per visit depending on location. Virtual delivery is available for all services at no reduction in price, because the preparation and expertise required are identical.
Payment terms are straightforward. We invoice 50% at the start of the engagement and 50% at the midpoint. For the Partnership package, we split the fee into quarterly instalments.
Common questions about pricing
Yes. Additional sessions are £350 each. Most clients who extend add two or three sessions to work on a specific challenge that surfaced during the initial six.
Life happens. If a key participant goes on leave or the business hits a crisis, we can pause for up to eight weeks at no extra cost. We pick up where we left off. Pauses longer than eight weeks may require a revised timeline and a small rebooking fee of £200.
We offer a 15% reduction for registered charities and community interest companies. We ask for proof of registration before confirming the adjusted fee.
Completely. The 30-minute call is for both sides to decide whether working together makes sense. We do not prepare a proposal until after that call, and there is no obligation to proceed.
The listed prices reflect fair value for the work involved. We do not inflate them to leave room for haggling. If your budget is genuinely constrained, we can sometimes adjust the scope (fewer sessions, virtual instead of on-site) rather than discount the rate.
Venue hire for on-site workshops is your responsibility. If you want us to arrange a neutral venue, we can do so and pass the cost through at the rate we pay. Psychometric tools (e.g. Hogan or MBTI) carry a per-person licence fee set by the publisher, typically £60-£120 per person, which we add to the invoice at cost.
Our commitment to you
If after the first two sessions (individual coaching) or the diagnostic workshop (team engagements) you feel the engagement is not delivering value, tell us. We will refund the remaining balance in full. We have offered this guarantee since 2019 and have had three clients take us up on it. In each case, we parted on good terms and two of them returned later for a different type of engagement that suited them better.
We do not lock you into long contracts. The Partnership package runs for twelve months, but you can exit after six months by giving 30 days' notice, paying only for the work completed to that point.
