CIL achieves platinum rankings in consulting firm benchmark
CIL celebrates achieving platinum-rank status in Strategy Consulting, Private Equity & M&A and gold in Pricing in the UK’s Top Consulting Firms benchmark.

We’re proud to be named in Consultancy.org’s Top Consulting Firms in the UK 2025 – with Platinum rankings for Strategy Consulting, Private Equity & M&A, and a Gold ranking for Pricing. The results reflect the strength of our core propositions and the continued growth of our Pricing practice.
The ranking highlights the UK’s top consulting firms across 40 sectors and 40 areas of expertise. Over 1,400 firms were assessed based on feedback from more than 800 clients, 3,000 peer reviews from consultants, and a capabilities review covering firm reputation, project work, benchmarks, industry recognition, and thought leadership.
This external recognition demonstrates our increasing market credibility in strategic growth areas such as pricing and commercial expertise, which have been strengthened with senior hires such as Patric Kirchner in our Munich office, further enhancing its pricing capability practice.
Our private equity and M&A work continues to go from strength to strength as we build on CIL’s long-standing heritage in these areas, and this has been recognized with the top Platinum ranking. Our work in sectors such as education, healthcare & life sciences, consumer, and media has also been recognized as market-leading – testament to our deep expertise and commitment to supporting clients in these areas.
