Our Team
Richard Pugh heads up our Consultancy Division. Richard is an experienced and professional business relocation consultant and project manager of some thirty-five years, having worked on UK and international relocations in most industry sectors. He brings a wealth of experience especially in the preparation of highly confidential strategic plans for business move projects: relocation, transformation, resizing and cross border. He has delt with projects of all sizes ranging from a few people to hundreds.
Risk Management is the cornerstone of planning any project, however small, at the end of the day your business, key staff and its customers must not be adversely affected by an internal project – challenges surrounding COVID-19 and Brexit being topical.
We have established professional partnerships across many disciplines so if we don’t have an answer, we know the experts who do.
Many of our clients have chosen to work with us as our experience guarantees they have “a safe pair of hands” looking after their project and they can continue managing their core business without diluting the focus on challenges that are outside their core expertise.
Consultancy and Project Management for your Business.
Strategic Planning
Our initial one or half day free consultation will assist us at to identify the drivers and objectives of your project and enable us to prepare a detailed consultation document with a draft, strategic plan and fee proposal to carry out the work.
Risk Assessment
Risk Assessment starts on day one of the strategic phase and is reviewed and updated throughout the duration of the project. Every project has its risks, once they have been identified we advise on how best to manage and mitigate them, we then monitor and review them throughout the process. Our experience in the move sector has given us the skills to focus on the project allowing the board and management team to focus on their day-to-day business needs.
Design & Project management
Our role is to help businesses reshape their space utilisation in line with changing business needs, we will work with clients to achieve their goals and use our experience to make those goals attainable by bringing expertise into a business.
Move Management
Whether moving the business and moving the people, we provide a bespoke service, one size does not fit all. We focus on delivering a value-for-money service utilising our experience, knowledge and partners, to deliver on time, within budget.
Office, Commercial property and New Site Search
Whether you are a start up company, an overseas organisation moving into the UK or an existing entity looking for a new site or office we are there to help you find a new office or facility. We can assist with everything from identifying the most suitable location, finding the right property, the negotiation of terms and price along with any build, fit-out or furnishing requirements.
How can Clearview Consultancy assist you with your Relocation or Restructuring Project?
Contemplating any project without a detailed strategic plan has significant risks. It is generally accepted that the real risks fall within keeping the plan confidential and the areas surrounding Human Resources, IT & Technology, and the relocation itself of both staff and assets.
The objective of a strategic plan is to give you a plan that you will be able to implement to deliver the project within a defined programme, within budget and with any risks identified and mitigated.
Why Clearview Consulting
We have significant experience in the relocation sector. The consultancy has managed complex relocation projects in both the UK and internationally for many of the leading companies, in most industry sectors.
Over many years Richard has developed a successful three phase approach in delivering a successful relocation project.
- Preparation of a highly confidential strategic plan and sign off
- Implementing the project, through design and detailed project management
- Move management and delivering the project on time, within budget and any risks identified and mitigated.
So, what is included within most Strategic Plans?
- The project as you see it today, the drivers and initial business reasons for the project and the issues you want to achieve.
- HR and its staff – critical and essential staff who must be incorporated in any plan (and if a requirement, their families).
- Future Headcount from Year 1 to 3 which is likely to be incorporated in the Business Plan
- Skill sets for any new hirers and availability in any location under review.
- Location analysis and agreeing the criteria for any location under review.
- Agreeing the size (open plan verses cellular) and make up for any building under review – simple traffic light system – Red does not comply with criteria, Amber some compliance with criteria and Green full compliance with criteria. This will involve a confidential search, thus protecting the client on what he is proposing.
- Dealing with IT, technology platforms, comms rooms and technology infrastructure.
- Assets to be incorporated into any new facility.
- Identification of any risks (this process goes on throughout the project)
- The Move Management process including dealing with the doner building (if there is one).
- Build-up of fully detailed budget.
- Build-up of a fully detailed programme.
So how do we produce a Fee Proposal?
It is critical that we fully understand the project, your objectives and the culture of your company to produce a comprehensive proposal. Typically this is achieved with a site visit so that we can assess your assets, branding and the complexities of what needs to be achieved. Typically confidentiality is key, as such we are happy to make this visits out of hours
Following this meeting we would be able to put together a detailed Fee Proposal detailing what Clearview Consultancy can do for you.
This first meeting is totally free, and we would expect to have our proposal back to you within seven days.
We look forward to hearing from you.
