Healden Grove Ltd is a Lancashire based business consultancy practice, formed in 1991, by Andrew Turner. Commencing trading at the start of a recession, we quickly modified our services in response to demand and after quite a steep learning curve, became a force recognised by the financial institutions as "genuine corporate recovery specialists". By taking on accountants in early retirement, who wanted a part time consultancy role, the first half of the 90’s saw us grow to 26 locations, UK wide. As the effects of the recession ebbed we refocussed more on strategic planning for growth for clients, rather than the event driven nature of dynamic corporate recovery. In 1996 as many of our consultants elected for full time retirement, we were approached by a firm of accountants that had identified "value added services" as the main area for growth, had witnessed our work first hand, and asked for our assistance. They had already spent in excess of £40,000 on a theoretical methodology and failed. We designed and tested our solution and to date, as a result of this initial enquiry, have worked with over 600 practices in the UK, including a number of the top thirty UK firms.
