Montroc Consulting Limited

What Montroc Consulting Limited does

Montroc Consulting Limited is a privately held, founder-owned strategy and change consultancy registered in the United Kingdom and operating from Bath. Established by Christopher Allen in 2018, the firm employs 1-10 staff and delivers consulting services under a proprietary three-phase methodology branded as 'Discover - Strategise - Change'. It turns strategic intent into tactical action for organisations, teams, and individuals, focusing on culture change, workplace strategy, real estate strategy, hybrid and agile working adoption, leadership development, and team building. The core operating model is project-based, bespoke consulting delivered through discovery workshops (frequently supported by in-house graphic artists producing 'Visual Minutes') followed by strategy creation and change programme implementation.

The firm combines proprietary frameworks with licensed third-party tools. Internally developed methodologies and frameworks include the 'Discover - Strategise - Change' process, The Moral Compass, OODA loop, SHUVA framework, The 5Cs, and Values assessment. These are paired with licensed psychometric and leadership tools, primarily Lumina Spark (personality portraits), Lumina Leader (leadership development), and GC Index (leadership potential). The team profile is deliberately interdisciplinary, drawing on military, civil service, teaching, and linguistics backgrounds, alongside corporate experience at CBRE and Morgan Sindall, and includes a dedicated graphic recorder. Service delivery is supported by partnerships with design and implementation firms such as WyldeIA (design) and coneon GmbH (in-country delivery in Germany), enabling multinational project execution without a permanent international footprint.

Commercially, Montroc operates a sales-led, direct-engagement go-to-market model with customised, quote-based packages and no publicly disclosed pricing. Revenue is generated through two streams: bespoke consulting projects (enterprise change programmes, workplace strategy, real estate reviews, culture change) and structured workshops (both private and public, including Discovery, Hybrid Working, Agile Working, Self-Knowledge and Wellbeing, Personalities and Team Building, and Leading Dispersed Hybrid Teams). Customer concentration sits with enterprise clients across technology/telecoms (Lumen Technologies, CenturyLink, NewRe), FMCG (innocent Drinks), engineering and consulting (Buro Happold, 42 Bedford Row Barristers), and reinsurance (Munich Re). The firm has delivered projects in England, Wales, Ireland, France, Germany, Switzerland, and the USA, plus global research engagements. Marketing relies on the company website (case studies, #liveworkbetter blog), LinkedIn, client testimonials, and founder podcast appearances, with no disclosed external funding.
