An independent firm, built by practitioners.

The firm began with a handful of assignments for former clients. Over the following decade it grew steadily — never aggressively — into an advisory business of around 120 people, with offices in London and Manchester and a network of associate partners across the UK.

We have deliberately kept the shape of the firm consistent: partner-led, delivery focused, and small enough that every engagement receives the attention of someone who has personal accountability for the outcome. We turn away work that does not fit that model.

Today Meridian advises boards, executive teams and investors across the private, public and third sectors. The common thread is complexity — organisations at a point where the right answer is not obvious, and where the cost of getting it wrong is high.
