Consulting

Consultants are hired when an organisation wants to generate a competitive advantage, maximise growth or improve business performance. As a consultant, you could advise on any sector. Some firms specialise in a particular service – such as strategy – and a variety of sectors, while others specialise in one service in one particular area or industry. Increasingly, firms incorporate a variety of both. Here are the top ten employers in the sector.
