Consultants Directory

Finding the right consultant for your purpose can be difficult. The firms listed in the IED Consultants Directory are ones which are run by or employ IED members. They vary in size and in the range of services offered and the entries can only give a brief indication of their skills and expertise but the list provides a starting point. Inclusion in the list does not constitute a recommendation by IED.

The list, updated each year, is available online through the link below. A hard copy is available by contacting the IED at info@ied.co.uk: IED Consultants List 2010.

IED also has a Consultants Group which exists to promote the interests of IED members who are consultants and the value of consistency to the wider economic development profession. The group has an e-mail discussion forum and has a Code of Professional Conduct which can be downloaded from this link: Code of Practice.

Contact the Group Chairman, Rob Weaver, by e mailing him at  rob.weaver@mail.adsl4less.com
