"I chose K Wright Consultancy to take on a strategic project, primarily due to Keith’s knowledge and expertise in the merchant and construction products market, but particularly related to procurement. Keith's experience shines through, and any future client would be lucky to work with him. We have saved 6-12 months of time and effort, which should see us deliver ahead of the original strat plan and we will continue to work with Keith as the project develops, as his asides and insights have been invaluable."

Brandon Hallam

ex-Commercial Director - British Gypsum

"Having considered a number of available options, I recently selected K Wright Consultancy to support the Category Management Team here at IBMG, on a major strategic procurement project which ran over 5 months. There were two key determinants in selecting KWC; firstly, Keith’s knowledge, expertise and proven track record of delivery in the builder's merchant sector, and secondly his highly proficient skills in procurement and supplier management. Keith worked as an integral part of the IBMG Team and made a significant contribution to the projects’ success, in turn creating strong incremental value for our business. I'd have no hesitation in personally recommending them."

Steve Parkins

"K Wright Consultancy performed exceptionally well and delivered a very comprehensive report in relation to the building materials market, detailing the exact areas that we scoped at our initial meetings. I would have no hesitation in recommending this business and would hope to be working with them in the future in order that we scope additional areas within our Group."
