Established in 1993, JH Consulting is a dynamic team of associates with a wide range of expertise and a comprehensive skills base. We provide a range of high quality consultancy services for organisations across the public, voluntary and private sectors and spanning the fields of learning, skills and employment, community development and renewal. A particular feature of our work is developing the links in the 'policy to delivery' chain, joining up the front line delivery of services with regional strategy and national policy.

Realistic and achievable planning at all levels, for a range of clients from small community organisations to strategic funding bodies including the Learning & Skills Council, Regional Development Agencies and Jobcentre Plus.

We are particularly skilled in supporting the development of partnerships and consortia for planning, purchasing and delivering services more effectively and coherently.

Helping service providers to develop business plans and programmes that meet their users’ needs and maximise opportunities to link with strategies.  Sustainability and succession planning are key to this work.

Financial and funding strategies as well as support to tender for funding.  This includes offering ‘critical friend’ advice about the viability of ideas and proposals, and training on organisational and business development.

Carrying out evaluations of the impact and effectiveness of programmes, including complex partnership projects.  Our succinct evaluation reports include practical next steps to help projects move forward.  We also devise evaluation frameworks to measure impact and success, and deliver evaluation training to staff.

Producing readable ‘evidence reports’ that summarise complex research information to underpin proposals and plans, as well as providing rationales for strategic planning that can be communicated to a wide audience.
