In the United Kingdom, a Royal Charter may grant a body the power to run a central register of suitably qualified practitioners in a given profession.

HM Privy Council assures that those bodies granted the power by the Sovereign in Council to confer chartered designations apply the same high standard, which is broadly equivalent to a Masters-level education with five years post-qualification professional experience.

BCS The Chartered Institute for IT was granted its Royal Charter by HM Queen Elizabeth II, with the power to register IT professionals, in 1984. The Engineering Council was awarded its Royal Charter by HM Queen Elizabeth II, with the authority to register suitably qualified engineers, in 1981.

Some of our senior engineers may also be registered as European Engineers (with the prenominal title EUR ING) through Engineers Europe, which is a pan-European professional engineering title broadly comparable to a Chartered Engineer and is widely respected in the European Union.

Some senior staff may also hold other chartered registrations, such as Chartered Manager (CMgr), awarded by the Chartered Management Institute (CMI) under their Royal Charter granted by HM Queen Elizabeth II in 2002.

We expect our more junior staff to seek suitable regulated professional registrations, such as Incorporated Engineer (IEng), Registered IT Technician (RITTech) and Registered ICT Technician (ICTTech).

As a professional and ethical practice, we carry appropriate professional indemnity insurance that covers all the assignments we undertake for our clients. We are not formally aligned to any vendor. We do not resell any third party products or services. We act independently and impartially.

We ensure that clients are properly informed of their legal obligations rather than conveniently not mentioning them and leaving the client to face the consequences. We have been providing advice without fear or favour for almost forty years as a consulting practice. Our clients rely on our probity and trust us to give them sage, objective and balanced counsel.

The fact that we enjoy long-term relationships with many clients that often span decades is testimony that we are delivering meaningful value to our clients.
