Sandhurst Consulting

What Sandhurst Consulting does

Sandhurst Consulting is a Calgary-headquartered, privately held management consulting firm specializing in emergency management, business continuity, and leadership development. Its service portfolio spans Emergency Management planning and exercises, Business Continuity risk identification, Leadership Development, Security Management, Safety and Contractor Management, and Fire and Life Safety Training, delivered primarily to high-risk industrial operators (oil and gas, pipelines, energy), public sector agencies, military, emergency services, and Indigenous communities across Canada. The firm also offers a structured Incident Command System (ICS) training curriculum (ICS 100 through ICS 400) certified by the Alberta Emergency Management Agency, delivered through open-enrollment courses, customized corporate programs, and a self-paced TalentLMS online portal (e.g., ICS 100 at $26.25 per participant), and operates a proprietary mobile coordination tool, the Amulet Response App, plus a Microsoft Teams-based Virtual Incident Command Post / Virtual Emergency Operations Centre training offering.

The business model combines professional services revenue (custom enterprise consulting, corporate training, and facilitated exercises) with transactional training revenue (per-participant open enrollment and online courses). Go-to-market is primarily enterprise field sales targeting regulated industries and government buyers, supplemented by a content-marketing funnel (blog, LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube), conference participation, and self-serve online course purchasing. The firm operates offices in Calgary (headquarters) and Toronto. In February 2026, Sandhurst Consulting was acquired by The Poirier Group, a Canadian boutique management consulting firm, with Paul Flavell appointed President and founder Stuart Carver transitioning to an advisory role; the combined entity is positioned as a national platform for emergency management services across Canada.
