Cambridge Management Consulting Wins Three Awards at the Consultancy Awards 2024

Last night, we attended The Consultancy Awards 2024 – the annual awards event hosted by The Consultancy Growth Network, with the objective to recognise and celebrate hard work, commitment, and innovation across the consultancy sphere. 

Taking place at the De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms in London, The Consultancy Growth Network distributed over thirty awards across ten categories to this year’s finalists, of which Cambridge Management Consulting are the proud recipient of three – earning a place in each of the categories we were nominated.

This is a testament to not only the impressive quality of talent, ingenuity, and drive present within our company, but throughout the consultancy industry itself. As an industry with collaboration at its heart, last night represented an excellent opportunity to connect with our peers for the shared purpose of uplifting our achievements.

Read on the learn about the three different awards we won, and the incredible work our practitioners completed to receive them. 

Digital Transformation

Sponsored by Method Grid, the Digital Transformation award looks to recognise consultancies who have harnessed the power of technology to reinvigorate an organisation; whether that be in making it more efficient, cost effective, or sustainable. 

Cambridge MC won an award in this category due to our ongoing project management of a multinational oil and gas company, to coordinate the development of a portfolio of high-priority EV charging hub sites throughout big cities. Thus far, we have delivered the successful deployment of the first EV hub site in Luxembourg, eight in the Netherlands, are currently in the process of rolling out further sites in the US and UK, and additional sites in other countries across other several continents.

Productivity Improvement / Cost Reduction

Sponsored by CMap, this award encompasses consultancies and projects which have increased and improved the efficiency, productivity, and operations of an organisation, while also reducing their costs.

In this category, Cambridge MC won an award for our delivery of £10m in savings for a large UK online retailer across only thirteen weeks. By leveraging our experience in procurement, contract, and vendor management, we were able to perform a deep dive into all vendor contracts facing the business, establish areas for saving, and engage in supplier negotiations, in order to maximise cost savings while the company was experiencing significant changes in demand.

Fastest Growing

Sponsored by Sonovate, the Fastest Growing award is one that is particularly important to Cambridge MC, for recognising our rapid development from a start-up to a multinational consultancy firm represented in offices, experts, and clients across the globe.

In the last few years alone, Cambridge MC has experienced exponential growth. Between our talented industry experts, reputation for a workplace culture grounded in integrity, and commitment to sustainability and pro-bono work, we have observed a 30% growth in revenue, 100% increase in geographies, 50% more services, and double the number of clients. Our consultant base has also grown by 100%, and were proud to be able to double the profit we donate to charity to 12%. Winning an award in this category is only part of the pride, strength, and affirmation that this growth provides us as an organisation.

Thank You

We want to end by showing gratitude to our partners, clients, and peers who have made all of this work and acknowledgement possible. As it was emphasised in the brilliant speeches made last night, the consultancy industry is to its core a service industry, with work completed for the benefit of our clients and customers, not for an award. However, it is always encouraging to earn recognition from our peers, and to have the opportunity to celebrate them in return.

Last night represented a brilliant collaboration of talent, and we look forward to returning next year.
