The Independent consulting business offers rapid response and deployment of strategy professionals across all sectors. Projects last from a week to a year.

The Barton Partnership's key to success lies in the talent and experience of its staff, who include tier-one strategy consultants and recruiters who are specialists in their sectors. Their skills mean they have an understanding of the needs of the people they work with, whether it's an employer seeking new talent or an individual looking for a career change.  

A working practices survey at the company found that many employees thrived in their own space when conducting calls, so once pandemic restrictions eased and staff returned to a new hybrid office/remote working set-up, the office space was revamped to increase the break-out and think-tank zones. Private booths were introduced where people could take video calls or use for quiet working.
