esp Group

Based in London, esp Group works as a delivery partner for corporate clients, public bodies, SME businesses and not-for-profits, as well as offering one-to-one support to individual leaders. The team positions itself as an integrated, trusted partner rather than a conventional supplier, aiming to become embedded in a client's own objectives through listening, proposing solutions, managing delivery and acting as a critical friend throughout a project. Team size is small, in the 1-10 range, and work is drawn from experience gained in corporate and public sector settings, including local authorities and local authority trading companies. Described services centre on sales and bid consulting, executive coaching, and public sector delivery work, alongside the corporate training, branding, event management, social media marketing, web design and executive search listed among its offerings. Its bid and tender specialists ("chase" specialists) support submissions ranging from £500k to £500m, either leading the full bid process or handling specific elements such as solution architecture, red line reviews or pitch rehearsals against real-world scenarios. Executive coaching is delivered one-on-one or through team workshops and insight sessions, aimed at leaders moving into senior roles, seeking greater effectiveness, or wanting an external sounding board. A dedicated public sector arm, established to serve local authorities and LATCos, covers procurement and partnering, housing and asset management, and environmental services such as recycling, waste collection, street cleaning and grounds maintenance, including support for services being brought back in-house. A search and interim function sources candidates by drawing on the team's own sector backgrounds.
