Who We Are?
Bridging academic insight and real-world expertise to power SME growth
What Drives Us Forward?
Our Vision
Our vision is to become the UK’s leading consulting platform where academic excellence meets industrial expertise, transforming the way SMEs grow and compete.
Our Purpose
SME owners shouldn’t have to choose between theory and practice. We exist to translate rigorous research into practical, affordable action plans that unlock sustainable growth.
Our Story
InForge was founded by a team of strategists who saw two gaps:
-
Ground-breaking academic research that rarely reaches the shop floor.
-
Smaller firms left behind by big-ticket consultancies.
We set out to forge a new model—one where evidence-led insight, hands-on experience, and SME realities meet in the middle. Today, our advisory board spans leading UK universities, while our consultants bring decades of industry success in tech, manufacturing and FMCG.
What Makes Us Different?
-
Academic Partnerships – direct access to academics and researchers shaping the future of business.
-
SME Focus – strategies sized + priced for smaller firms, not blue-chips.
-
Actionable Roadmaps – clear steps, metrics and support from idea to impact.
