The consulting market is evolving rapidly, with clients seeking specialised, risk-sharing partnerships. As it looks to make the most of the opportunities this offers up, BIP UK has sought to supercharge its offering with new collaborations, driven by its CEO.
In a challenging economic climate, BIP UK is thriving under CEO Roei Haberman’s leadership, according to the firm. Over the past year, Haberman has driven a £3.5 million investment, working to position BIP UK “among the top ten consultancy firms in the country” with a strategy focusing on innovation, acquisitions, and attracting top talent, setting a new benchmark for consultancy services.
In the consulting sector, traditional models of time and materials or resource augmentation are being replaced by approaches where suppliers share risks and benefits with their clients. Aligning with these expectations, BIP UK notes that Haberman’s “innovative commercial strategies and relentless focus on providing client-side assistance” have resulted in strong client retention for BIP UK – thanks to “working as an invested partner rather than just a supplier”.
BIP UK’s growth has been fuelled by targeted acquisitions that extend its capabilities. By integrating firms like Riskcare, a leader in financial technology innovation, and Verco, a pioneer in sustainability and energy management, BIP UK has built specialist expertise in sectors ripe for disruption. The launch of a Google Cloud Practice further underscores its commitment to deliver advanced solutions and meet the growing demand for digital transformation.
Smaller consulting firms like BIP UK benefit from agility and deep client relationships, allowing them to respond quickly and share delivery risks. According to the consultancy, this means that “unlike larger firms, they are not hampered by multiple levels of governance and bureaucracy, enabling faster decision-making” – allowing smaller firms to mobilise multi-disciplinary teams at pace, bringing together experts with diverse specialisms, broad industry knowledge and hands-on experience.
At the same time, Haberman has emphasised the importance of social values, diversity, and sustainability in the B Corp accredited firm’s strategy. His dedication to attracting and retaining top talent to support this is reflected in the appointment of Alistair Lovegrove as chief strategy officer, along with and other senior market leaders to add top-tier expertise to the leadership team. BIP UK’s commitment to a diverse and inclusive workforce ensures a strong foundation for sustainable growth.
With clients looking for suppliers who can deliver real results and meet their needs with real-life experience, BIP UK contends that it is “uniquely positioned to thrive”, with making faster decisions and building deeper client relationships, while sharing delivery risks gives to obtain a competitive edge.
Looking ahead, CSO Lovegrove commented, “This approach allows us to deliver maximum value to clients while maintaining a focus on sustainable progress. Our size and adaptability give us the edge to lead in areas where the industry needs fresh ideas and bold solutions. 2025 is the year for smaller firms to rise and redefine the game, with BIP UK visibly setting a new standard within the consulting industry.”
