Brand consultancy to expand team after ‘remarkable’ growth

The founders of brand strategy consultancy Q Branch Consulting are growing their team after seeing “remarkable” growth in their first 18 months.

Matt Clutterham and Jenny Jarvis have seen growth of more than 40% in their first 18 months, defying the UK business consultancy market which contracted by 3.4% in 2024.

The company is now expanding into new offices in Melbourne and hiring an additional consultant.

This growth comes after a highly successful start, which included winning their first award, securing a contract with the NHS, and attracting their first international clients from the US.

The success also extends to their monthly Leading Boldly podcast, which now has 8,000 subscribers and an average global audience of 6,000 listeners per episode.

Shortlisted in the Start Up category of the East Midlands Business of the Year Awards 2025, to be unveiled on October 16, Q Branch Consulting last year won the Outstanding Collaboration category of The Business Desk’s Business Masters East Midlands awards for its work with male suicide prevention charity Tough to Talk.

Matt said: “Jenny and I are incredibly proud of the success we’ve seen at Q Branch Consulting in our first 18 months.

“This kind of growth comes from a lot of hard work combined with an absolute clarity of vision.

“We attribute our success to focusing on both brand and people development.

“Our goal is to help brands achieve a bold new outlook by thinking like the world’s biggest businesses. Big, successful brands know exactly who they are, and that’s the mindset we want to instil in our clients.”

Jenny said: “With our expanded team, we’ll be able to offer businesses everything they need to achieve success.

“We can now transform their people, brand, and operations, providing them with all the tools they need to step into the future with clarity and confidence.”

One of the business’s clients is the multi award-winning The Spa at Breedon Priory in Wilson, near Melbourne.

Spa owner Sigourney Gates said: “We have thoroughly enjoyed working with Q Branch over the past five months.

“With their guidance on marketing, branding and service delivery, we’ve been able to strengthen our reputation for first-class experiences while also maximising profitability.”
