About Excelian Limited

The nature of Excelian’s business means that they have a variety of career paths open to staff. This may be as a technical subject matter expert, project manager or future leader of a division/practice. For this reason, they have introduced ‘Excelian Academies’. These are a series of long term L&D programmes designed to support their staff in whichever career path they choose. The Excelian Leadership Academy is a two year programme for those wishing to follow a management career path, the Excelian Project Management Academy is a 12 month programme for those who wish to develop their project management skills and possibly become project managers in the future and the Excelian Capital Markets & Commodities SME Academy has a selection of courses available for staff to choose from to allow them to develop the skills required to continue to develop as an SME in their chosen field. This is open ended, with courses being repeated throughout the year to allow for attendance between client assignments.  The Technology Leadership Academy is a three year programme open to all consultants working within the Technical Consulting Practice. Those enrolled within the Leadership, Project Management or Technology Leadership academies are assigned a mentor from their ranks of senior staff to provide additional support. For ad hoc courses, relating to business objectives or client requirement, Excelian offer both classroom and online options, allowing the flexibility required in a consultancy business.

Excelian understand that in the current economic climate getting the most out of their people is more important than ever. Due to the nature of their business, almost half of their employees are not from the UK. This means that many of them are not registered with a GP, therefore Excelian provide there employees with unlimited access to a top private GP practice with offices across the city. They also offer healthy breakfast at their London HQ, providing a selection of healthy cereals and wholemeal bread for toast, to set them up for the day.

Excelian's two year partnership with Inspire has allowed all staff to volunteer throughout the academic year helping primary school students gain knowledge in presentations and marketing. They also offer work experience to secondary schools. These schools are all within their working community the students are vulnerable learners with multi-agency involvement, many of whom are statemented or on school action plus. These include learners who have been excluded from mainstream school or other Pupil Referral Unit provision or who are school refusers.  Excelian also have a partnership with Careers Academies where staff volunteer to mentor a student over an 18 month programme assisting them on coursework, reinforcing classroom learning with real life examples, expanding their understanding of business culture and workplace etiquette.  They practise employability skills such as time management, problem solving, CV writing or interview techniques and widen their network of business contacts for the future.
