[b]1. Name of consulting firm[/b]LCP Consulting Ltd[b]2. About our company[/b]LCP is a leading specialist in customer driven supply chain management consultancy. With over 20 years’ experience in the field, we identify where supply chain can make major contributions to how businesses operate profitably and compete effectively. We support businesses review, re-design and implement changes to their end-to-end operations. Our fact-based diagnostics pin point exactly where and how to cut costs, enhance operational efficiency and invest for the future. We are large enough to be involved in significant projects for major organisations, and yet of a size that fosters a close working and learning relationship across the business. We contribute extensively to thought leadership through publications, conferences, education and our links to Cranfield and other Universities. We are an active member of the MCA (Management Consulting Association) and the IoC (Institute of Consulting).[b]3. Types of clients we serve[/b]Our clients are from all sectors and around the world. For instance, over the years we have worked for most of the leading UK retailers, the major oil/chemical organisations and a wide range of manufacturing companies. We also work with the government where real expertise and innovation in supply chain is demanded.[b]4.

They want to work with the best people in this field – to learn from them and to add to others knowledge. We recruit people at all levels of experience who are excited by applying end-to-end supply chain thinking to major organisations.

People who join us want to be challenged – and we provide this by working on some of the most complex and crucial problems that organisations have in meeting their business goals. A quote from one of our consultants: Working for LCP has given me the chance to develop my skills quickly with new and testing situations. The level and type of exposure has made me push myself but I have never felt unsupported through my role. Since joining LCP I have been part of a variety of projects, each with new developments and challenges. The strong team nature of the varied projects I’ve worked on has consistently shown the client a strong value-add financially and through process changes. This has given satisfaction to the client and LCP.[b]6. Locations of our UK office(s)[/b] Our main office is in Berkhamsted, Herts.
