TrendyConsultants was established in 2016 whilst working with one of the worlds’ largest entertainment company. Our vision is to deliver best in class business analysis and project management consultancy to clients worldwide. TrendyConsultants originated from the word Trendy and that is certainly the way the Directors have a reflection on their business activities. Digital Transformation has been a trend of late and that is the backdrop to which the company was founded, having had strong experience in the area with many clients.
With a strong background in promoting best practices for business analysis on client engagements, we seek to provide a balanced approach to solution delivery by getting the best out of traditional waterfall cycles and the daily ‘stand up’ routine.
In 2018 we expanded the business whilst working with one of UK’s largest upcoming fashion retailer. By partnering with a number of highly experienced Senior Managers and 3rd party experts we were able to successfully deliver the latest in pioneering Cybersecurity and IOT solutions.
In the last 4 years Trendy Consultants has developed a real credible network of highly experienced professionals who understand the real value of technology and how to deliver effective solutions.
By combining project management to its already proven ‘trending’ business analysis arm the company looks to strengthen its business proposition in 2023 and beyond.
