Embridge Consulting celebrates 15-year anniversary
Embridge Consulting has celebrated 15 years of expansion by investing in another form of organic growth. The firm’s staff planted almost 600 trees to support urban charity Trees for Cities.
Headquartered in Gravesham, Kent, Embridge Consulting is has a proven track record in operational expertise across public services organisations. These include local government, higher education, non-departmental bodies, and health and emergency services.
Since the firm was founded in 2009, Embridge Consulting has established a track record across these fronts that has led to rapid growth. According to a release from the firm, it has doubled its revenue over the last three years – even as the consulting industry encounters a slowdown more widely.
Helping to drive this has been the firm’s status as an elite partner with software vendor Unit4 for the last six years, as well as premier partner for Unit4 Financial Planning & Analytics. This has seen Embridge Consulting engage with clients including Devon County Council, Islamic Relief Worldwide, Wiltshire College and Royal College of Music, helping to deliver 34 new digital change projects in the last 11 months alone.
In celebration of these achievements, and the firm’s 15th anniversary in business, Embridge Consulting has committed to a new charity drive – and a very different form of ‘growth’. This has seen the firm’s team dedicate a day to planting trees at Ashburton Playing Fields, Croydon, in partnership with international charity, Trees for Cities.
Overall, the Embridge team planted 570 trees to represent every member of the business as well as a tree for every customer that they have had the privilege to work with over the last 15 years.
Emma O’Brien, founder and CEO of Embridge Consulting, confirmed, “The last 15 years have been incredible, and I am in no doubt that we would not have achieved this level of growth or success without the hard work and dedication of the Embridge team! Planting trees to represent all the wonderful customers we have had over this time as well as every single one of our team both past and present while supporting a local charitable initiative is a really fitting way to mark this success and 15 years in business, and I genuinely couldn’t be prouder. Here’s to the next 15!”
As the only charity working on an international scale to create greener cities, Trees for Cities strengthens communities through volunteering opportunities. This includes revitalising forgotten spaces, creating healthier environments or inspiring children to grow and eat good food.
