The Barton Partnership has been recognised in The Financial Times’ Leading Management Consultants report, securing its place for the fifth consecutive year among the UK’s most highly regarded consulting firms and networks.
The annual report, compiled by the Financial Times in partnership with Statista, is based on independent recommendations from clients and industry peers, benchmarking consulting firms and networks most highly recommended for their expertise across sectors and specialist services.
Commenting on the recognition, Oliver Phoenix, CEO, said: “This acknowledgement reflects a sustained shift in how organisations access expertise. Clients are looking for flexible, senior, proven capability that can be deployed at pace and deliver with impact. Our consulting network is built to meet that demand, and this report reinforces the value of that model.”
Since launching its Independent Consulting proposition in 2014, The Barton Partnership has delivered more than 3,900 projects, drawing on a curated global network of over 13,500 independent consultants and Interim Leaders across the US, EMEA, and APAC. The firm continues to invest in expanding its proposition, supporting clients with specialist expertise across value creation, strategy and transformation.
The Financial Times recognition follows continued global recognition for The Barton Partnership including its inclusion in Forbes’ list of the World’s Best Management Consulting Firms in August 2025.
