For the seventh year running, 3Keel has been named one of the UK’s top management consultancies by the Financial Times. We’re celebrating a third Gold ranking for Sustainability Consulting Services, one of just three firms to achieve this accolade in 2025.

Our impact recognised

Since 2019, 3Keel has been featured in the FT’s annual rankings, which spotlight the UK’s best consultancies. This independent assessment, conducted in collaboration with Statista, is based entirely on client and peer recommendations, making it one of the most trusted awards in the industry.

This year, we’ve been recognised across four categories:

• Gold: Sustainability consulting services
• Silver: Consumer Goods & Retail sector expertise
• Silver: Energy, Utilities and Environment sector expertise
• Bronze: Operations and Supply Chains sector expertise

‘I really value the support I receive from the team at 3Keel. Their work on assessing the risks and impacts of our agricultural supply chains is shaping our current and future sustainable sourcing strategy at Asahi UK.’  Sam Goodenough, Sustainability Manager, Asahi UK.

Simon Miller, Managing Director, explains why the award means a lot to us: “It’s fantastic to receive a consecutive Gold ranking for Sustainability in 2025, and our 7th consecutive awards. We are no longer a ‘small’ firm, and it’s heartening that we continue to be recognised by clients and peers for the quality of our work, which was one of the founding principles of 3Keel when we started the firm in 2013.”

Why do the FT ratings matter?

If you’re looking for a consultancy that delivers impact, the FT report is a great place to start. Unlike some awards, companies can’t nominate themselves—these rankings are based entirely on votes submitted by clients and by peers at consulting firms.

To earn Gold, a consultancy must be “very frequently recommended,” with twice the number of recommendations as the industry average.

“It should come as no surprise that 3Keel has been named one of the UK’s top management consultancies by the Financial Times for the seventh year running. It’s been fantastic working with the team at 3Keel over the past four years. A hands-on, expert consultancy, 3Keel has not only given Fuller’s a well-rounded understanding of our climate impact and risks, but supported us in developing credible targets and a robust action plan to achieve them. Knowing we’re on the right track is invaluable.

“3Keel’s insight has provided clarity and played a pivotal role in our climate strategy journey. With long-term thinking baked into all our projects with 3Keel, I’m excited to continue our critical work on Fuller’s transition plan and develop what has already been a very successful relationship.” Oliver Rosevear, Director of Sustainability at Fuller, Smith & Turner.

“How can we support you?
