We started Lonsdale Solutions over 10 years ago because we saw that our clients needed more than just project delivery, they needed project leadership. Our Consultants are dedicated professionals who adapt and lead. We’re committed to our clients and their agendas. We believe in taking a long-term view of working together and our advice is always honest and independent. We are empathetic and provide focus, calm and expertise. We take pride in lifting the capability of our clients through the journey. In May 2021 we were certified as a B Corporation as we believe that business can be a force for good, creating benefit for our clients, employees, community and the environment through our work. We’re a purpose-driven consulting company and commit a portion of our revenue to philanthropy aligned with our employee’s passions.
