You will have the opportunity to formulate business strategies, generate quality in offerings, create new products and markets, make the most of technology, accomplish conspicuous success and maximise your personal impact.

Freedom and career progression
TTP’s organisational structure is minimal, and management is light-touch. Consequently, individuals have freedom to drive their own talents, passions and ideas in the interests of the business; we take a long term view and place great emphasis on career development and freedom. We promote a culture of openness and peer respect, without process or ‘paper’ hierarchy. Initiatives can and do emerge from anywhere in the organisation and we have the capacity and resilience to support individuals in the pursuit of their ideas. This allows capable, ambitious and driven individuals to thrive giving unusually wide scope to progress and influence business success. Consequently, career progression is measured not by job title (we don’t use them), but by genuine responsibility and authority, and true leadership. Our ability to build businesses, both consulting and spin-out, and the continual growth and evolution of our initiatives offers a very broad range of career paths and opportunities for our consultants.
Professional Development
TTP’s freedom extends to personal responsibility for growth and professional development. You will benefit from our focus on identifying your talents, and from ongoing training tailored to your unique requirements. Training typically involves a blend of mentoring, bespoke internal courses and externally run courses.
