What Inclusive Group does

Inclusive Group is a privately held Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) consultancy founded around 1999 by Sasha Scott and headquartered in London. The firm delivers human-facilitated services across three core streams: Learning Solutions (a catalogue of 30+ off-the-shelf, tailored, or bespoke workshops covering topics from unconscious bias and inclusive leadership to anti-harassment and psychological safety), Coaching and Mentoring programmes (1:1 inclusive coaching, co-mentoring, and reverse mentoring), and Culture and Inclusion Consultancy (policy reviews, culture strategy, crisis management, representative data strategy, and employee listening exercises). Specialist offerings include Inclusive Culture and Risk Advisory for global law firms and Intimacy Coordination services for film and television productions across the UK, EU, and Australia.

The firm has no proprietary technology platform; all services are delivered through human consultants via virtual or in-person workshops, coaching engagements, and consultancy projects. No APIs, SDKs, or software integrations are offered. Its revenue model is professional services, with quote-based engagements (no public pricing), per-programme workshop fees plus customisation design fees, and multi-year advisory relationships with enterprise clients. Customer concentrations sit primarily in legal services (DAC Beachcroft, Fladgate, Akin Gump, RLB), real estate (JLL, Grosvenor, Berkeley Capital), sports and entertainment (AEG Europe, Working Title Films), financial services, pharmaceutical (GW Pharmaceuticals), and arts.

The go-to-market is sales-led, beginning with a 20-minute discovery call, followed by tailored scoping; the firm markets through its website, blog, Inclusion Unlocked podcast, LinkedIn, Instagram, and X, with the founder's BBC appearances and placements in The Times, The Guardian, and City AM serving as key credibility assets. The company is founder-led, with Sasha Scott as CEO, Jen Morris as Managing Director, and approximately 15 team members including senior associates and specialist consultants, operating globally with delivery in 24 countries and no external institutional investors or parent entity.

Direct peers

• PDT Global: UK-based DEI consultancy offering cultural transformation, inclusive leadership and anti-racism programmes to global enterprise clients. Closest geographic and service-overlap competitor to Inclusive Group in the UK market, with comparable boutique positioning.
• Intimacy On Set: UK-based intimacy coordination training and on-set services founded by Ita O'Brien, the originator of the modern intimacy coordination discipline. Direct comparable for Inclusive Group's film/TV intimacy coordination service line and the source training pedigree for one of its practitioners.
• The Pipeline: UK-based specialist in women's leadership development and talent pipeline programmes for professional services firms. Directly comparable target customer (law firms and financial services) and overlapping service categories (coaching, mentoring, leadership development).
• Paradigm Strategy Inc. US-based DEI consultancy founded by Joelle Emerson, offering inclusion training, strategy and research to enterprise clients. Highly comparable: similar boutique scale, similar service mix (workshops, coaching, strategy) and similar enterprise target market, though US-anchored.

Emerging players

• Green Park Interim & Executive Search: UK-based executive search and diversity advisory firm, operating a Diversity Practice that advises FTSE and large enterprise clients on inclusive leadership and diverse talent pipelines. Comparable enterprise client base (financial services, professional services) and overlapping inclusive-leadership advisory offerings.
• Culture Amp: Employee experience and DEI analytics platform offering surveys, listening tools and DEI dashboards to mid-market and enterprise. Partial overlap with Inclusive Group's employee listening exercises; competes for the same HR/people analytics budget but delivers via SaaS rather than consulting.

Broad incumbents

• LRN Corporation: Global ethics, compliance and DEI education provider serving large enterprises with a mix of advisory, e-learning and assessment products. Overlaps with Inclusive Group on DEI training and culture advisory but operates at much larger scale and with a more productised delivery model.
• DDI (Development Dimensions International): Global leadership development consultancy with explicit inclusive leadership offerings. Comparable at the level of leadership programme design and delivery, but operates at much larger scale and with more productised content than Inclusive Group's bespoke delivery model.
• Great Place To Work UK: Workplace culture research, certification and advisory organisation. Overlaps with Inclusive Group on culture assessment and benchmarking, and is a recurring referral/ecosystem partner for culture consultancy engagements.
• Kincentric: Talent management and inclusion consulting firm (formerly part of Aon, now part of North Highland) serving large global enterprises. Directly comparable service mix on DEI strategy and employee listening, but operates as part of a broader HR/talent portfolio rather than as a DEI specialist.
