In short
London organisations rarely have a shortage of suppliers. They have too many, bought quickly, across teams, with contracts nobody owns. The work here is usually about control and governance before it is about price.
What we tend to see here
Financial and professional services, technology, media, property and hospitality, alongside a very large public, health and charity sector. Fast-scaling businesses tend to accumulate software, contractor and property commitments faster than anyone can track them, and the first useful exercise is almost always a single view of spend.
How support works in this area
Work is delivered on site where being in the room matters and remotely where it does not, which for most engagements is a mix. BRIEF does not keep an office in the region and does not pretend to. What matters is whether the person doing the work understands the market you buy in and can be there when it counts.
