Background

CQM has a 17 year legacy of delivering first class, comprehensive, business focussed solutions and an unarguable track record of successful results, with an unsurpassed depth of creativity and experience.

We have worked with some of the greatest names in UK business as well as some of the least known, but no less successful, SMEs.

We have supported well over 400 companies with Lean and business transformation and trained over 50,000 business managers and staff in the last 14 years. At CQM we have discovered and perfected the unique combination of training and on site consultancy, which ensures that learning is quickly embedded and sustained, thus developing sustainability and self sufficiency in expertise rather than dependency on our services.
