Hiring, moving, or just mapping the ground. Every message is read by a person, and answered by one. If it is urgent, phone — someone picks up.
For hiring firms
Straight to our founder, Ben
He runs every client mandate personally. No intake team, no account manager, no ticket queue.

What a scoping call covers
Thirty minutes, free, no obligation and no deck. Bring a brief, or bring a half-formed idea — most of the best mandates start as the second one.
- Whether the talent exists at the level you need, and roughly what it costs
- How the market reads your firm right now — candidly
- Whether a search, a team move or a practice build is the right shape
- Whether we are the right firm for it. We will tell you if we are not.
Confidential from the first message, on both sides of the table.

For consultants
Tell us where you are
Actively looking, quietly curious, or you just want the market read. All three are worth a conversation.
Before you type anything. This reaches our team and nobody else. Your name goes to no client without your written permission, for a named role, every time. We never contact your referees without asking first, and we never discuss you with anyone outside the firm. Use your personal email, not your work one. Ask us to delete your details at any time and we will.
Goes to candidates@strat-bridge.com — read by our team. We use your details only to talk to you about your career and relevant roles. See our privacy policy for how we hold and delete your data.
What happens next
- You will know it landed — no message disappears into a queue
- Your details reach our team, and where there is a conversation worth having, one of us comes back to you personally
- A conversation about where you actually want to get to, not a role we happen to have open
- Nothing goes anywhere without your explicit approval. Not your CV, not your name, not the fact that you got in touch.
- We hold your details for 12 months unless you tell us otherwise. Reply “delete” to any message from us and they are gone.
We will tell you to stay put if staying put is right. Our fees are paid by hiring firms, always — so the fee never decides the advice.

No brief yet
Just mapping the ground
Not every conversation starts with a live vacancy. Most of ours do not. If you are working out whether a hire is even the right answer, this is the cheapest way to find out — and it costs nothing.
- Who is actually available at Partner and Director level in your space, right now
- What the market pays — base, bonus, buy-in and equity, by firm and by grade
- How competitor teams are structured, and where they are thin
- Whether the talent exists in DACH for the practice you are considering
- An honest read on how your firm is seen by the people you would want to hire
No obligation, and no assumption that it turns into a search.
Available for
Press, panels & thought leadership
Ben writes and speaks on the management consulting market across the UK and DACH, and is available for panels, podcasts, private client events and journalist briefings.
Topics he is asked for most:
- Partner economics — buy-ins, revenue credit, guarantees and covenants
- What AI is actually doing to consulting business models
- Team moves and practice acquisitions: why they work and why they fail
- The UK and DACH markets compared, at partner level
- Partner pay and hiring sentiment, from our own market data
Working to a deadline? Put it in the subject line and he will prioritise it.
Everything else
Anything that does not fit a box
Invoices, contracts, commercial terms, data and privacy requests, or a question none of the above covers.

If you are mid-mandate, go straight to whoever you have been dealing with — it will always be faster than a general enquiry.
Why we answer the way we do
Four values, four promises
Our foundations are drawn from tikanga — Māori principles built to govern how people treat one another when there is something at stake. A first message from a stranger is exactly that moment. Here is what each one means for what happens after you hit send.
ManaakitangaCare and dignity
Every message is read by a person, not sorted by a bot. We cannot take every conversation forward, but nobody is ignored and nobody gets a brush-off.
WhanaungatangaRelationships
You can reach our team directly. No intake desk, no account manager, no gatekeeper between you and the people doing the work.
Tika & PonoRight and honest
We will tell you if we are the wrong firm for your brief, or that staying put is the right move. Our fees come from hiring firms, so the fee never decides the advice.
KaitiakitangaGuardianship
Whatever you send us is held carefully and shared with nobody without your explicit approval. Not your CV, not your name, not the fact that you got in touch.
