About Aurora
Aurora Consulting was founded in 1997 by managing consultant Griff Griffith, building on the experience he gained during an extensive career in international business. Griff’s background is in strategic development, business planning, marketing, corporate communications and general & financial management in the telecommunications and electronic commerce fields. Aurora Consulting’s services are based around these skills.
We believe that every client’s requirements are different. Aurora doesn’t have a "one size fits all" or "template" solution to sell. Instead, issues and problems are addressed individually, to find the right solution that meets the client's particular needs. Clients get a personal service from Aurora
– they won’t find that the consultant who sets up a project disappears once the scope is agreed and that a less-experienced member of the team undertakes the work. Client satisfaction is fundamental to the successful completion of our projects. Whether it’s a one-off assignment or part of a long-term relationship, Aurora Consulting ensures that the client comes first.
Aurora has a wide range of clients. We provide services to Fortune 100 companies and one-man start-up businesses. We have worked with clients in the USA, Northern Europe, the United Kingdom, the Middle East and Hong Kong. Our recent projects include:
developing and reviewing business plans for B2C and B2B electronic commerce services, Internet incubators, and a 'bricks and mortar' recruitment agency;
customised research for one of the biggest names in the global IT industry, and for a major international player in the mobile telecommunications sector;
creating MBA course materials for a leading distance learning provider;
due-diligence investigations for a major Silicon Valley company;
providing general business and management advice for start-up companies.
Our main operational site is in London, England. We also have a presence in California, although it isn't currently staffed full-time. Wherever your business is located, we can travel to undertake an assignment for you.Griff Griffith - Aurora Consulting's founder Griff Griffith's career in international business management has spanned more than 30 years.
