"I am delighted to acknowledge the huge contribution that the Quo Group has made to the success of Cancer Research UK over the last 18 months. We began to work together to shape the new Charity soon after its formation in 2002. Cancer Research UK as formed by the largest ever merger in the UK charitable sector, of two organisations with very different cultures. Quo have been a constant source of both inspiration in terms of resolving the “big picture” issues after merger and insight in reaching pragmatic solutions to tough, “nitty-gritty” operational problems. They have helped us transform every aspect of our organisation for the better.
Quo Group is a unique collection of stimulating, remarkable people. Any business would benefit from exposing its thinking and assumptions to their analysis – unless that organisation’s own people are not up to the challenge. Cancer Research UK has established itself as the most respected and successful public subscription charity in Britain, with Quo’s help. A real barometer of our quality will be whether we still stand up to Quo scrutiny in a year or two’s time. When that happens I’m sure the experience will change us again for the better and be inspirational to all members of our staff involved."
Professor Alex Markham, Chief Executive, Cancer Research UK
“I have used the services of Quo many times since 1996, developing a real partnership; all the consultants I have worked with have gone to great lengths to gain a broader understanding of our business to ensure activity is aligned to customer needs and long-term objectives.
Quo add value with every intervention, challenging the status quo, encouraging teams to think and act in more effective ways.”
Cliff Burrows, President, Starbucks EMEA
“I have been using Quo’s consultancy services for the past 10 years, for both Executive and large-scale assessment and selection exercises. Their knowledge of our business and the variety of their consultancy offering has enabled us to call on them for advice, help and support across a range of complex change programmes. The quality of work has always been excellent and we will continue to use their expertise as the business changes”.
