What EA Inclusion does

EA Inclusion is a UK-headquartered diversity and inclusion (D&I) consultancy, incorporated under EA Holdings Ltd (registered in Wales, company number 11695756), operating from Llandaff, Cardiff. Founded in 2005, the firm delivers professional services across nine interconnected service lines: Learning & Development, Strategic Advisory, Cultural Change, Organisational Design, Sustainability, Inclusive Recruitment, Coaching & Mentoring, Outsourced HR Services, and Inclusion & Diversity. It serves organisations of all sizes — from startups to multinational enterprises — across both public and private sectors, with claimed work delivered to over 4,000 brands in 35 countries.

The firm's competitive technology stack is centred on three proprietary assets rather than a software platform: the globally recognised 'Return on Inclusion Audit' methodology (a registered method for measuring ROI of inclusion initiatives), the Inclusion Hub (an online resource centre for best-practice guidance), and the REACH Job Board (a dedicated platform for inclusive recruitment). Service delivery is executed by in-house D&I practitioners supplemented by an Associate Practitioner network that extends global reach, and the firm holds ISO 9001 quality management certification.

EA Inclusion generates revenue exclusively through professional services — quote-based consulting, advisory, and training engagements — with no publicly disclosed pricing or fee structures. The go-to-market is consultative, enterprise-focused direct sales, supported by content marketing (case studies, podcasts, a book) and active LinkedIn presence. Distribution is augmented by the Associate Practitioner network. The firm operates as part of the EA Group, which also encompasses the EA Foundation (charitable arm established in 2021), Metimur Global, the 'You Must Be Woking' podcast, and the 'Woke Is Broke' book. There is no disclosed external venture or private equity investment, indicating a founder-led, organically funded operating model.
