iDiversity Consulting

What iDiversity Consulting does

iDiversity Consulting Ltd is a UK-based specialist consultancy headquartered in Ely, Cambridgeshire, founded in 2019. The company sells an integrated accessibility proposition to UK employers and disabled or neurodivergent individuals, combining professional services (workplace needs assessments, disability and neurodiversity coaching, awareness training, and assistive technology training) with a curated e-commerce shop that resells assistive technology software (Dragon Professional, ClaroRead Pro, Texthelp Read&Write, Sensory Readable, Lightkey, Jamworks, Caption.Ed, Medincle Plus), digital therapeutics (Wellmind Health programmes for pain, arthritis, mindfulness, and meditation), and hardware devices (C-Pen Reader 2, Scanmarker Pro, Speaksee microphone kit, Neo Smart Pens). The shop also offers ergonomic equipment and accessories.

A central commercial mechanic is the UK government's Access to Work grant scheme, which funds eligible individuals' purchases of coaching, training, and assistive technology through registered providers such as iDiversity. Pricing is publicly listed on most products (single-purchase perpetual licences, multi-year subscriptions, and unit pricing), while bespoke services are quoted on request. The company is sales-led and UK-only, operating from a single Cambridgeshire office with a team of 11-50 employees.

iDiversity maintains Disability Confident Leader status, BDA Approved Quality Assured Supplier listing, Cyber Essentials certification, and ISO 27001:2022 accreditation. Its competitive position rests on domain expertise in disability inclusion and Equality Act compliance rather than proprietary technology, with the AI-powered features in its catalogue (meeting transcription, speech-to-text, AI word prediction) sourced from third-party vendors rather than developed in-house.
