Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Deloitte (Human Capital / Reward): Deloitte's Total Reward practice competes with FIT on UK listed remuneration advisory and has strong relationships with FTSE remuneration committees. Several FIT partners (e.g., Martin MacLeod) joined from Deloitte.
• Mercer (Marsh McLennan): Mercer's Executive Reward and Governance practice is a long-standing UK and global competitor, particularly on remuneration committee advisory, actuarial valuation, and broader workforce reward strategy.
• WTW (Willis Towers Watson): WTW's Reward, Risk and Broking segments include a substantial executive remuneration advisory practice serving UK and multinational listed clients. It competes head-to-head with FIT on FTSE remuneration committee mandates and has global scale FIT lacks.
• PwC (People & Organisation / Reward): PwC's Reward and Employment Practices group advises FTSE remuneration committees on pay design, benchmarking, and shareholder consultation. Several FIT partners (e.g., Matt Higgins, Iain Scott) trained at PwC/EY, reflecting the historical career pipeline.
• Aon (Human Capital / Reward practice): Aon acquired New Bridge Street Consultants — the historic UK executive remuneration firm from which most FIT partners originated. Aon's Reward practice is the most direct scaled competitor, offering remuneration advisory bundled with broader risk, pensions, and benefits consulting.
• KPMG (People & Change / Reward): KPMG's Reward consulting practice competes on FTSE remuneration committee mandates and broader workforce reward. It is part of the Big 4 group of integrated advisory platforms that compete with FIT.

Direct peers

• Lorca Consulting: Smaller UK independent executive remuneration consultancy serving UK listed and AIM companies. Competes with FIT in the AIM segment where FIT has its strongest market position.
• Pearl Meyer: US-headquartered independent executive compensation consultancy serving listed company remuneration committees. Pearl Meyer is structurally the closest US analogue to FIT — independent, partner-led, and focused on remuneration committee advisory — making it the natural transatlantic peer.
• Halliwell Consulting: UK-based independent executive remuneration consultancy advising listed companies on remuneration committee matters. As another independent, it competes with FIT for mandates where independence from the Big 4 and Aon/WTW/Mercer is valued.
• Compensation Advisory Partners (CAP): Independent executive compensation advisory firm with US/UK presence advising remuneration committees. CAP is a like-for-like independent competitor focused on the same core client type and mandate scope as FIT.
