Directors, Phil Scott and Catherine Pinchin, established Preston Consulting in 2009 recognising that experienced, independent and singularly-focused expert advice and management is essential to achieving objectives in a fast moving and dynamic environment. Identifying and managing to achieve specific outcomes for clients can be done in a positive, timely and ethical manner. Phil and Catherine set about creating a company that was able to communicate clearly, with a sound technical basis and the ability to set and achieve client objectives.  Having worked in Government, industry and consulting, our team understands the full range of perspectives.
