What makes the model work

Focused firms with strong positions

Each company is built around a clearly defined area, bringing together the people, experience and methods needed to create lasting client impact.

Independent companies. Shared strength.

Our companies combine autonomy and accountability with access to shared capabilities and opportunities across Newground.

Collective client capability

Companies can work together when clients need support across several areas, combining the right teams and capabilities while keeping senior responsibility close to the work.

A repeatable company-building model

Newground has a structured approach to building and developing companies, creating a foundation for continued growth.

Growth model

Our growth comes from three complementary areas.

Growing existing companies

Supporting our companies in developing their businesses, deepening client relationships and creating new opportunities within the alliance.

Building new specialist firms

Launching new consultancies built around strong leadership and a clear specialist focus.

Partnerships and acquisitions

Adding established firms and capabilities that complement Newground and strengthen the alliance.

Backed for the next phase

Adelis brings experience and resources to support Newground’s continued growth through organic initiatives and strategic acquisitions.

Together, we will continue developing Newground around the principles that have shaped the alliance from the start: specialization, entrepreneurship, autonomy and proximity to clients.

Our ambition is to build a leading alliance of specialist consultancies.
