  • “Darren has regularly supported IGD over many years, providing high quality analysis and insight for our supply chain content across a diverse range of topics. He combines expertise spanning the end-to-end supply chain, an analytical approach and a creative flair to produce detailed reports, strategic presentations and practical tools that have been very well-received by our subscribers. His flexibility, professionalism and positive attitude have made this an enduring and trusted relationship."

    Caroline Myers, Director of Insight, IGD

  • "Darren completed a comprehensive and detailed investigation of the many strands of this complex, global issue through his extensive industry knowledge and network. He produced a high-quality research report which included practical, evidence-based recommendations and estimates of the size of the prize, and gave a very well-received presentation to our board. Darren was a pleasure to work with and I’d happily recommend him for any such investigations in the future."

    Jim Dickson, Head of Retail, GS1 UK

  • "Darren gave an extremely well-researched and well-received presentation on the UK market and supply chain trends to my clients from Russia and the Ukraine. The feedback from one client, representing one of the largest online retailers in Russia, was indicative of its reception: ‘I and my colleagues were very impressed by Darren’s high level of expertise and experience. Also, the presentation included a lot of real examples and practical recommendations for beginners and advanced fresh food retailers.’ I look forward to working with Darren again in the future."

    Evgeniya Delaney, Director, Global Practice

  • "Darren did an outstanding job in understanding the Rascal business in such a short space of time which made the day very well-tailored to our needs. The most useful aspects were the time and space the day created to challenge our existing thinking in an open forum along with the various practical models Darren shared to help shape thinking. This has been an excellent catalyst for us on our ongoing innovation journey."

    Jonty Edwards, Commercial Director, Rascal Systems

  • "We used to have multiple hand written lists and forms which would take hours to work through – we spoke to Darren about creating a single database which would allow us to input all of the data and keep it in one place. Darren did not disappoint and looking back we really don’t know how we coped before. It has reduced our working hours and has given us easy access to the information we need."

    Shaun Herbaut, Forest School Leader, Fingertips Preschool

Our points of difference

  • We don't just provide generic consultancy advice; rather we source insights from those intimately familiar with your operations and combine these with our wider industry expertise to deliver unparalleled personalisation.

  • We act as a confidential third party when uncovering insights, with the ability to anonymise feedback, so your colleagues and customers feel more comfortable providing open and honest opinions which in turn leads to more buy-in and more achievable outcomes.

  • We explore all angles of your supply chain through an internal and external perspective, resulting in a broader spectrum of ideas and inspiration, and enabling you to better understand the impact of your decisions across the chain.
