The management consultancy network The Richmond Group has appointed Hedley Basford as its new Chairman. The group of sixty independent management consultants and small practices, which recently celebrated its 27th anniversary, made the decision at their 2009 annual general meeting.
Basford, a seasoned management consultant with over twenty five years experience, said he was looking forward to helping the network’s members continue to support one another and grow their practices in the challenging economic climate.
A Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants and the Institute of Business Consulting, Basford commented: “The key to The Richmond Group’s success is its very special sense of community. The network appeals to those who are committed to high standards of consulting, have a passion to be independent but want the comfort and support from a peer group of like-minded people. It has been a vital source of support and opportunity during my many years as a member, and I look forward to encouraging increased prospects for collaborative working, learning and new business whilst I am Chairman.”
Basford also offered his thanks to the outgoing Chairman, Frank Hobson, and expressed his appreciation for the encouragement and inspiration received from the President of the Richmond Group, and managing director of Elevation Learning, Calvert Markham.
Calvert Markham said: “Hedley has a wide breadth and depth of experience gained from his years with Arthur Andersen, Sears Holdings Group, BTR and building his own successful management consultancy, Hedley Basford Management Consultants. His industry knowledge, enthusiasm and business savvy will be very useful to our members keen to develop their professional skills and grow their companies.”
