Helping businesses achieve success for over 20 years

Led by Nick and Sarah Finnemore, our consultancy brings over 20 years of experience in the edtech sector, offering expert guidance in product management, business development, and growth strategy. Nick specialises in aligning vision and values with business goals, coaching teams to deliver value through cross-divisional strategies.

Together, we support companies in navigating the complexities of the education market both in the UK and internationally.

Evolve and grow with Finnemore Consulting Ltd

UK schools spend over £900 million on education technology every year, and it is estimated the global market will be worth almost £300 billion by 2025.

The education market is a dynamic, innovative sector that loves new technology and ideas which have a genuine impact on young people’s lives.  So why is it so difficult to grow?

We’ve helped a number of ambitious and disruptive businesses to change and deliver in a highly competitive landscape, acting as the catalyst for strategic partnerships and joint ventures between Local Authorities, multinational organisations, private equity houses and ambitious start-ups.

Hear From Our Happy Clients: Their Stories

I have had the pleasure of working closely with Nick and Sarah over the past 12 months after I was introduced to them by a fellow founder/owner working in education. Their unique style, knowledge, network, and business acumen is so impressive that I would unreservedly recommend that you also reach out to them. They are very compassionate leaders who take time to listen to you and your challenges, asking insightful questions to quantify the business need or issue, and then quickly helping you to solidify the criteria / next steps for a successful solution.

Managing Director, FEPS

Having had the luxury of working with both Nick and Sarah for the past 2 years I cannot recommend them highly enough. Through a wealth of knowledge, expertise and understanding of the education sector they have helped support and elevate Welfare Call to becoming an established and recognised market leader. By helping us define a clear vision and strategy they have been fundamental to the company’s growth, sustainability and futureproofing. They have both shown a genuine commitment to understanding our business and helping drive us to success.

Managing Director, Welfare Call Group

As a start-up we have been wrestling with ideas such as partnership strategy with support services, our messaging, our growth strategy- and your work gives us an insight that are invaluable especially to start-ups who are looking to have a positive impact on education.
It was a real pleasure speaking with you and for the great nuggets of information. It gives us a boost of excitement to hear your views. We will continue to improve and push new ideas- hopefully, we can make a positive difference.
