Storey Consulting

What Storey Consulting does

Storey Consulting is a UK-based management consultancy operating as Tom J Storey Ltd from Richmond Upon Thames, focused on the design, delivery, and communication of social value for property developers, business leaders, and public sector organisations. The firm runs four core practice areas—Employment and Skills Plans, Social Value Strategies, Affordable Workspace Strategies, and Wellbeing Strategies—delivered through a unified Engagement-Design-Delivery operating model that emphasises co-design with communities, local authorities, contractors, and supply chains. Its customer base is concentrated in UK property development, with named engagements including Oxford North, Network, Pearl Yard, and Arding & Hobbs.

The consultancy's wellbeing practice is supported by the Ownminder platform, a digital wellbeing tool used to address sector-specific challenges and meet public procurement requirements through co-branded content, project-specific dashboards, and measurable outcomes. The team is micro-sized and built around founder/director Tom Storey with five named specialists covering education and community engagement, project management, business development, communications, and financial analysis. The firm employs no AI-native infrastructure and positions itself primarily on specialist expertise and established stakeholder networks rather than proprietary technology.

Revenue is generated through quote-based professional services engagements on multi-year contracts with enterprise clients. The business reports annual turnover below the £36 million statutory threshold for Modern Slavery Act compliance, operates exclusively within the United Kingdom, and has no disclosed funding rounds, institutional investors, or M&A activity. Charity partnerships with Land Aid and Trees For Cities reinforce the firm's social-value positioning.

Direct peers

• Locality: UK membership and support body for community organisations, advising on community enterprise, neighbourhood planning, and social value at the local level. Comparable to Storey Consulting's community co-design, public sector engagement, and place-based advisory work.
• Corporate Citizenship: UK-based sustainability and social impact consultancy advising corporates on social value, community engagement, and ESG strategy. Highly comparable to Storey Consulting in advisory focus and target audience of business leaders seeking measurable social outcomes.
• Shared Intelligence: Independent policy and social research consultancy with strong UK public sector footprint, supporting programme design, evaluation, and community engagement. Comparable to Storey Consulting in evidence-based programme design for public sector and place-based clients.
• WPI Economics: Economics and public policy consultancy advising on workforce, skills, and labour-market issues for public sector and corporate clients. Comparable to Storey Consulting's employment and skills planning, public sector skills-gap analysis, and economic impact work.
• The Social Value Portal: Provider of social value measurement and reporting tools widely used by UK property developers and contractors to evidence social value delivery. Comparable to Storey Consulting because both serve the same property/construction buyer segment focused on social value outcomes for planning and procurement.
• GoodCompany: Social value and ESG advisory supporting developers, contractors, and public bodies in embedding social value into projects. Comparable to Storey Consulting given the shared property development buyer segment and focus on planning-linked social value obligations.

Emerging players

• Baringa Partners: UK-headquartered management consultancy advising on strategy, operations, and ESG across sectors including real estate and energy. Comparable to Storey Consulting as a management consultancy addressing similar buyer segments, though with a broader, cross-sector remit.

Others

• Social Value UK: Membership organisation that sets the Social Value framework used across UK procurement and planning. Relevant to Storey Consulting because it defines the methodology many of the firm's clients use, shapes buyer expectations, and influences the firm's advisory approach.

Broad incumbents

• Turner & Townsend: Global built-environment consultancy serving property developers with cost management, project advisory, and increasingly social value and ESG services. Comparable because it addresses the same enterprise property developer buyer with broader, bundled advisory services, including social value.
• Arcadis: Global design and consultancy firm with property, planning, and sustainability practices serving major UK developers and public sector bodies. Comparable to Storey Consulting because it competes for the same buyer segment with a wider, more generalised service portfolio.
