About the firm

What does PEF Consulting Partners do?

We are an independent consultancy that delivers complex change: ERP and SaaS implementation, ESG and CSRD compliance, programme assurance and recovery, digital transformation, change management and strategy. Our programmes range from one million to nine billion pounds.

What does independent mean here?

We take no software licence commissions and have no referral arrangements with vendors or systems integrators. Our recommendations carry no hidden interest, which is what makes our selection and assurance work worth having.

What sectors do you know well?

Our consultants have deep experience in energy and utilities, telecoms, regulated markets and private equity and infrastructure, having delivered for organisations including E.ON, BP, National Grid, Vodafone, Ofgem, Smart DCC and Ancala.

How we work

How do you charge?

We prefer to price against a defined scope so you know what you are committing to. See working with us for our engagement models.

Do you embed long term?

No. Our engagements have a defined objective and end when it is met. We do not land and expand. See how we work.

Do you deliver the work or just advise?

Both, and we prefer to stay involved through delivery, because that is where value is realised. We also provide independent advisory and assurance where that is what is needed.

Specific services

Can you help if our ERP programme is already failing?

Yes. ERP programme recovery is a significant part of what we do, and the earlier you act the better the outcome.

Is our business still in scope for CSRD after the Omnibus?

It depends on your size, structure and European footprint. Since the Omnibus, CSRD applies only above 1,000 employees and €450 million turnover, with a separate route for large non EU parents. We confirm scope entity by entity. See our note on scope and CSRD readiness.

Where are you based, and do you work internationally?

We are based in Liverpool and work across the UK, Ireland and continental Europe.
