With Us
Before we begin any piece of work, we like to take the time to have an initial conversation. This helps us understand what you’re looking for, explore how we can best support you, and ensure that we’re the right fit for your needs.
We can arrange a 30-minute Teams call, or meet face-to-face if you’d prefer a longer or more in-depth discussion. Whatever works best for you, we’re happy to accommodate.
About us
Born out of our shared desire to add value and get things done, 1080 Consulting Ltd was incorporated in 2005.
Why 1080? It refers to a skiing trick involving three full in-air rotations requiring the right speed, height and control, ie making the impossible possible!
Prior to 1080 we had worked for giants of the hospitality world, initially with Whitbread PLC’s multiple brands and subsequently Laurel Pub Co and Stonegate Inns. We delivered transformative business change through processes and systems ahead of their time; enabling brands like Costa Coffee to expand in smaller footprint sites; Beefeater and Brewers Fayre to standardise their back of house operations; pubs to offer real time promotions based on demand; and introduce standardised payment and stock and order solutions across the entire Division.
Over the last 20years we have worked with a variety of businesses and individuals, across many different industries. The common thread running through all is delivering value and enabling unlocking of potential.
We bring a wealth of expertise and dedication to understanding and meeting the unique needs of each client. Learn more
