What BRILINK does

BRILINK is a UK-incorporated social enterprise founded in 2019 that operates as a global consulting platform specializing in project management. The company originated from the MSc Strategic Management of Projects (SMP) programme at University College London's Bartlett School and is headquartered at Chapter Kings Cross, 200 Pentonville Rd, London, with an affiliated entity in China (BRILINK英略睿联). It delivers services across three practice areas: Consulting (competitive strategy, project management solutions, global insight forums), Innovation (start-up incubation, investment, ecosystem partnerships), and Training (APM-accredited project management courses, university academic programmes, and tailored corporate training). The company serves enterprises seeking project management and UK-China advisory, universities seeking programme partnerships, and individual professionals pursuing credentials.

The firm is advisor-led, convening former APM presidents, senior consultants from PA Consulting, Oxford Project Management, Balfour Beatty, Taylor Woodrow, and academic faculty from UCL, Oxford, Cambridge, London South Bank University, and the University of Manchester. Regional heads cover Europe, Greater China, Chile, Brazil, Central Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Knowledge-sharing assets include the Global Forum series, Project Management Forum, BRILINK Global Chat Room, and MasterClass programmes. These properties feed an enterprise field-sales GTM motion and event-led demand generation.

BRILINK monetizes through professional-services engagements, APM PFQ-accredited training (course fees via email booking), bespoke corporate training, and innovation services that combine mentorship with capital deployment. There is no proprietary technology platform, no disclosed external funding, and no parent holding company, indicating a founder-led, bootstrapped services model. Revenue figures, pricing, and named customers are not publicly disclosed.
