3Keel secures prestigious Financial Times ranking for 8th year running

3Keel has been ranked as a UK Leading Management Consultancy by the Financial Times for the eighth year in a row. 

Trusted recognition

Since 2019, the FT and Statista have recognised 3Keel as a leading firm in their independent assessment. Because the annual survey is based exclusively on client and peer recommendations, it is a highly trusted award. 

For 2026, the ‘Sustainability’ category where we have previously ranked Gold has evolved to a new category, for Sustainability and Energy Transition Consultancy Services. This year, we achieved Silver, just behind three global management consultancies that occupy the Gold position.   

We have also been recognised for our sector expertise in:

• Consumer Goods: Silver
• Energy, Utilities and Environment: Bronze

Simon Miller, Managing Director, says: “I’m proud that our team’s high-quality work has yet again been recommended by clients and peers. We really value these FT awards because they are an independent recognition of our work, and it’s tremendous that 3Keel continues to rank alongside global consultancies.

“During 2025, we have evolved our services, leading to increased demand for our expertise relating to land, resources and nature-based solutions, where 3Keel has a unique combination of knowledge and experience.”

Greggs has partnered with 3Keel for the past three years on work including both technical and strategic support for climate and nature. Paul Irwin-Rhodes, Head of Sustainability, says: “Working with 3Keel in 2025 brought real value. Their support strengthened our understanding, confidence and plans across several key sustainability priorities. Their expertise and positive, practical approach complement our team well, and they’ve become a trusted partner. We’re really looking forward to continuing the work together in 2026.”

Independent recommendations

Produced by the Financial Times and Statista, the data company, The UK’s Leading Management Consultancies Report rates consultants in 16 sectors and for 15 types of specialist work. The results are based on surveys of consultants’ clients and peers, with gold, silver or bronze ratings based on how often they are recommended.
