Description
CIL is a global growth strategy consultancy.
We work with organisations on the decisions that shape growth, from value creation strategies to pricing, data and analytics.
Our approach is rigorous and practical, grounded in deep sub-sector knowledge and careful analysis.
We dig into the detail, test assumptions and stress-test every recommendation against the realities of the market.
That\’s how we help organisations see what matters, think ahead, and set clear priorities that lead to confident decisions and strategies built to deliver results.
We have offices across the UK, US and Europe, and work across a wide range of sectors.
Although we work in structured project teams, we are socially very equal, friendly and inclusive – our \’culture\’ is the product of our people.
Our values of excellence, integrity, and supportiveness guide how we work, both with clients and each other.
Our London and Frome offices work as one – our engagements are staffed with CILers across both locations.
Our Frome office offers the chance to pursue a city career within the countryside – just 30 minutes from Bath.
