Buoyed by recent contract wins and following a recent rebrand, CBS Change Partners’ leadership team and Advisory Board today announces that it is targeting growth of 300% over the next 3 years.
CBS Change Partners, which opened 20 years ago as CBS Consulting, delivers complex change programmes for clients in the financial services sector, expanding more recently into the retail and public sectors.
It has doubled in size over the last 4 years, and is experiencing a significant increase in demand for professional support from multiple business sectors, and more accurately reflects the company’s business model.
Commenting, Founder and Managing Director Eddie Curran said:
“At times of constant technological and regulatory change, businesses are increasingly finding that they need much more than just a detached consultant with a powerpoint deck.
“We recently rebranded to better reflect what we have always done – rolling up our sleeves and embedding ourselves as genuine partners in our customers’ teams, helping them achieve their strategic objectives. And we now believe we can grow by 300% in the next three years.
“Our simple change model is ‘shape, define and deliver’ and our change partners carry this through from start to finish.”
CBS added to its existing roster of experienced professionals recently, with the addition of sector leaders from financial services, retail and technology to their Advisory Board earlier this year. The Advisory Board is composed entirely of former CBS customers.
Advisory Board member Andrew Murphy OBE, former Chief Operating Officer at John Lewis Partnership and now CEO of TEAL Group, owners of The Entertainer stores, said:
“As a retailer, change is constant. In core retail specialisms many retailers will want to resource for this directly, but when these opportunities or challenges emerge in non-core areas – such as customer payment processing, regulatory change or financial services arrangements – it is usually better to seek help from specialists on an ad hoc basis. Making CBS Change Partners part of the team, at less cost, is a no-brainer.”
In Case You Missed It:
Chairman David Bowerman, a former managing director of UK and European operations at RBS, vice chairman of Citizens Bank and chief operating officer of Tesco Bank, said:
“CBS’s growth over the long term has been delivered on the back of continued and sustained outstanding delivery of increasingly complex change, much of which has been driven by new and emerging regulation. The core capability that we have to offer companies remains very much the same and the rebrand is really driven by a desire for the brand to better reflect what we do. The secret to our success is simply our people – we are made up of experienced individuals who have been on the customer-end in both the retail and financial services sector, and who know what it takes to deliver change.
“Our growth ambitions, while stretching, are built on our reputation and the work we continue to do, to identify market shifts and to better understand the future needs and demands in those critical sectors.”
