A year in the life of a Consultant's log

• Apr - achievement: Won the Tessmore RFP with a 3.2m proposal for their operating model review. Led the bid team, negotiated scope after initial feedback suggested our fee was high, delivered response in 11 days.
• May - feedback: Sarah (MD, London office) said in one-on-one: you've got good instincts on when to push back on client scope creep. That saved us margin on Hale.
• Jun - task: Hired two Consultants and a senior associate for the Manchester office. Ran interviews, reference checks, ran three people through their induction week. One hire fell through in offer stage, had to restart for that role.

• Oct - feedback: Tessmore CFO emailed: your team understands our business in a way most Consultants don't. The warehouse recommendations were exactly what we needed, not what you thought we wanted.
• Nov - achievement: Closed Tessmore with two contract extensions: warehouse automation and organization design for supply. Combined value 1.8m. Kicked off warehouse work with site visits to three distribution centers.
• Dec - task: Worked with Sarah on 2025 resourcing plan. Identified three gaps in senior Consultant bench, flagged risk on Manchester headcount. Recommended we hire two Consultants by Q1 and promote one associate to senior level.

What makes a strong entry

How this becomes your review in November

I delivered two major client engagements this year: the Meridian supply chain work, which achieved an 18% reduction in freight costs and a contract extension, and the Tessmore operating model programme that closed with two follow-on contracts totalling 1.8m. I led a successful bid for Tessmore under deadline pressure and negotiated the scope to protect margins while keeping the client confident. Behind those wins, I've built internal capability: creating the firm's first operating model proposal template, cutting prep time from 6 to 4 days, and hiring two Consultants and a senior associate to strengthen the Manchester bench ahead of growth next year.
