RedQuadrant

What RedQuadrant does

RedQuadrant is a UK-based public service transformation consultancy founded in 2009 and headquartered at 7 Bell Yard, London. The firm operates a lean asset-light model with a core team of approximately 50 managing partners, a director, and administrative staff, supplemented by a curated network of around 2,000 independent practitioners drawn heavily from former senior public service ranks — including 15+ former local government CEOs, 750+ consultants with NHS experience, 600+ with central government experience, and 100+ trained at Big Four firms. The company's core offerings are three: consulting services covering strategy, reviews, coaching, mentoring and transformation leadership; transformation interim support providing in-house surge capacity; and capability building training in system leadership, agile change, and organisational development.

The business is organised around several specialised units beyond the core consultancy. The LGR Hub offers three configurable engagement models for Local Government Reorganisation with over 100 council engagements. Quadrant Resourcing, a related entity, supplies interim staff and delivers fixed-price work packages outside IR35 considerations. The Public Service Transformation Academy (PSTA) is a not-for-profit social enterprise partnership that RedQuadrant leads and which delivers the Cabinet Office Commissioning Academy and Place-Based Systems Leadership Academies. Tool Shed provides free transformation resources at chosen-path.org, and a Design Services unit supplies rich pictures, infographics, digital scribing and visual communications to public sector clients.

RedQuadrant's business model is professional services revenue, with no publicly disclosed pricing and no proprietary software platform. The firm reports a 97.2% client return rate and has been named by the Financial Times and Statista in the UK's Leading Management Consultants every year since 2018. Services are procured primarily through OJEU-compliant framework contracts (ESPO, G-Cloud, NHS SBS, Bloom/NEPRO, Healthtrust Europe, Irish OGP, Digital Outcomes, Constellia, Matrix Milestones) and direct senior partner engagement. Customer logos span UK local councils (Exeter, Croydon, Birmingham, Bristol, Devon, Westminster, Kent, Dorset, Dudley and many others), NHS Foundation Trusts (CLCH, Sussex Partnership, Scarborough and Ryedale CCG), central government departments (Cabinet Office, HM Courts and Tribunals Service, National Archives, Office for National Statistics), police forces (Metropolitan Police, Leicestershire), regulators (Nursing and Midwifery Council, Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman), and selected international public bodies (Abu Dhabi Public Libraries, Danish Prison Service, States of Guernsey).
