About us


We help organisations build high-performance cultures. Founded in 2003 by a former Red Arrows pilot, team members have first-hand experience of the most demanding high-performance and high-reliability environments.

The Business of Excellence by Justin Hughes

Our Approach

We are not theoretical observers of the action from the stands.  We have spent a lot of time on the pitch.  Our approach is empirical – we have reverse engineered our methodology from what we know works and then spent over 10 years refining it for other organisations.  To learn more about our approach and our high-performance model, see The Business of Excellence.

Consulting Services


We support clients in closing the gap between strategy, plans and outcomes.
