Company History
Bath Consultancy Group is a future facing organisation working at the leading edge of Organisation Development (OD) practice. From its academic roots in Bath University it has grown to a leading specialist OD consultancy conducting a range of exciting projects with major organisations. We work with major organisations in the private, public and voluntary sectors, including a large number of global organisations.
Bath Consultancy Group was established in 1986 by three members of the University of Bath’s School of Management. They had previously been researching, teaching and consulting in the fields of organisational learning, change management, culture, leadership and management development. The partnership became a limited company in 1997.
Dr Peter Hawkins, an original founder, is now the emeritus chairman of the company, and David Jarrett is the CEO. Both are part of the core employed team of consultants, with an executive team comprising David Jarrett, Fiona Ellis and Chris Smith. The company has a strong associate network with a global presence and now does over 60% of its work outside UK. In addition, Bath Consultancy Group employs a small client support team and a commercial manager.
Bath Consultancy Group was acquired by General Physics (UK) Ltd on 1st November 2010 and continues to focus its work in OD in four main areas - leadership development, change, team coaching and coaching, and to build links with sister companies in GP such as Clutterbucks Associates.
