Simon-Kucher & Partners

Simon-Kucher & Partners is a global strategy & marketing consulting firm and is the world’s leading pricing consultancy. Our focus is on developing smart profit growth strategies and we are truly unique in our field. We have delivered more projects in areas such as pricing strategy, portfolio optimisation and sales force effectiveness than any other consultancy – over 2,000 projects in the past three years alone.

Our market focus creates a strong competitive advantage and is the key to our robust growth. During a difficult recession period, which has seen consulting revenues across the industry fall, Simon-Kucher has continued to see healthy demand for our expertise. Last year we are celebrated our 25th Anniversary we have recorded an average annual revenue growth of 23 per cent per year (purely organic). Currently we stand at 23 offices, 500 professional staff and in 2010 revenue of £90m. Our consulting approach is collaborative and we have a strong focus on implementation support – you will find many of our recommendations in the news or on the shelf! The tools and techniques we apply are tailored for each project and we go to great lengths to make sure the final report does not just gather dust on the CEO’s shelf. Typical clients are medium-to large companies (revenues > £100m) in all industry verticals. Since we cover the entire spectrum we can be flexible over how you choose to align yourself as your career develops.

The London office has a particularly open and entrepreneurial culture. With around 50 professional staff and counting, it is small enough to know everyone’s name yet diverse enough to have many different subject matter experts. We also have an excellent work-life balance – arguably the best of any strategy consulting firm in London. ‘Face-time’ is not a measure of success and the focus is on quality output, rather than the number of hours put in. Our global reach also allows for rotations to other countries. Popular destinations are Boston, San Francisco, New York, Tokyo and Paris. The recently opened Sydney office is likely to have many volunteers, as will the new Asian hubs which have opened in Singapore and Beijing.

As the upturn approaches we are confident of accelerating our growth and are on course for another record year in 2011 in London and across Simon - Kucher & Partners.
