What MyPlus does

MyPlus Consulting Ltd is a UK-based disability employment consultancy founded by Helen Cooke CBE in approximately 2005-2006 and headquartered in Windsor. The firm operates a three-pronged model serving progressive employers, disabled university students, and university career services staff. Its core products are the MyPlus Employers' Club (a tiered Platinum and Gold membership offering events, workshops, disability insights, Q&A sessions with the founder, and an annual Disability Progress Awards reception), the MyPlus Students' Club (an award-winning careers-advice platform and resource hub for disabled students), and the MyPlus Universities Programme (consultancy, training, and resources that help university staff deliver specialist careers advice to disabled students).

MyPlus generates revenue through recurring Employers' Club membership subscriptions, per-event fees (£95 for non-members, £50 for additional member places for virtual events), and bespoke consulting and training engagements with universities. Distribution is direct, sales-led, and primarily virtual, supplemented by an annual in-person reception. The company's go-to-market leans heavily on events, newsletters, university partnerships, and joint webinars with strategic partners such as JPMorganChase, Amberjack, Bright Network, and GTI Cibyl.

The underlying technology stack is minimal: MyPlus delivers human-led consulting, training, and content services rather than a software platform. Its defensibility rests on the founder's personal lived experience and recognized authority in disability employment, a curated employer community, and an institutional brand anchored by the Disability Progress Awards. The firm is privately held by its founder with no external institutional funding disclosed and operates with a lean team of 7 employees from a single UK office.
