About Us
Providing Development, Coaching and HR services since 1994
Darbyshire Consulting Ltd was founded in 1994 by former HR Director, Graham Darbyshire, who had the vision to create a company that would build on his own broad experience and could cover the complete range of HR functions.
Over the past two decades, the Company has developed into a highly-respected consultancy providing top-level Development, Coaching and HR services for clients who operate across a broad spectrum of activities.
To date, the Birmingham-based Company has worked with over 60 clients across the UK, primarily in the private and third sectors, but also has undertaken some public sector work.
Darbyshire Consulting has a rare profile in combining Development, Coaching and HR, as many consultancies lack the experience to do this and to such a high level.

A proven professional pedigree
With a proven track record in Director-level HR, with companies such as Forward Trust Group (a subsidiary of HSBC), Graham's extensive experience has enabled him to lead by example when it comes to meeting a diversity of client needs.
The support of a talented team of highly-qualified and experienced fellow consultants has helped to build the Company's rock-solid reputation for delivering rigorous and highly-professional consultancy solutions.
The majority of commissions comes either through repeat business or recommendations. By providing an exceptional quality of service, the Company has built long-term business relationships with many of its clients.
Key to the high performance standards set by Darbyshire Consulting is the presence of genuine experts, whose up-to-the-minute and innovative consultancy skills provide an outstanding response to even the most challenging client brief.
A combination of well-grounded advice and effective hands-on performance gives clients total confidence in the services they receive. Equally important is the reputation that Darbyshire Consulting has for being great fun to work with!
