Blakk is a specialist consultancy providing a discrete range of bespoke services to support companies and their management teams.

We don’t deliver off the shelf packages and programmes. Instead we provide truly bespoke solutions - so you can be assured they are exactly what you need, and will add value to your business.

At Blakk we believe that whilst having a strategy is essential, it’s meticulous execution that really counts. So we go beyond delivering just outstanding consultancy, and work with you to implement and deliver the plans. That’s the benefit of having consultants that genuinely have been there and done it themselves.

Unsurprisingly, we have a proven track record of adding real value to companies through our straightforward, simple, yet obvious approach.

We really take the time to understand your business, people, processes and performance, before we design the solutions. Then we work with you and your team, to ensure there is true knowledge transfer and up-skilling. After all, we believe that business only gets better, when the people in the business get better.

In this way we ensure that the change is embedded, so the improvements are sustainable and permanent – that’s true commercial success!

At Blakk we have our own processes that we work to, and have people licensed and accredited to use other support tools. However, we believe that the starting point has to be getting a clear understanding of your business, and the particular issues you want to address.

We spend time understanding the current state, and your objectives – what you really want to achieve, and what success looks like for you. This can be issue specific, or in the form of end-to-end organisational review.

Taking the time to do this analysis comprehensively is essential – it’s often the case that the root cause is not exactly what was thought at the beginning.

Having completed detailed and thorough analysis, we then draw up a simple but comprehensive plan to optimise your business performance. Prescribed actions are simple, straightforward and easily implementable. We also outline how we can help with implementation in each of the areas.

From this you simply select how and in what areas you want to continue to work in partnership with Blakk.

So, from a detailed understanding come bespoke plans and actions, and skilled consultants not only willing, but keen to stick around, to help in implementation and embedding - now that is different.

We are proud to have worked with many global brands and household names, both in the UK and internationally, and enjoy a growing reputation and order book through unsolicited referrals and repeat business.
