The Business Growth Architects: How Blake Clough Consulting Builds Success

Anna, Anthony and Andy founded Blake Clough Consulting Ltd in 2021 with a vision to accelerate the decarbonization of the energy system. Their Huddersfield-based consultancy supports organizations across the electricity sector, from network operators and regulators to private developers, in achieving net zero emissions targets.

With experience leading teams and delivering complex projects at large companies, the founders sought to build an organization aligned with their values where they could make their own decisions. Blake Clough Consulting has grown rapidly since launching, now employing around 20 people and expanding into the Middle East.

The co-founders are passionate about developing their team’s capabilities to take on more challenging and impactful work.

“Continuing to develop the capabilities and capacity of the team, particularly bringing in and training high performing individuals, and developing their skills through the delivery of exciting projects,”

said the founders.

Their clients span the entire electricity industry, working with everyone from local governments and sustainability organizations to offshore wind developers and network operators. Blake Clough Consulting aims to grow at 30-50% annually to keep up with increasing demand. Blake Clough Consulting founders are very thankful for their clients.

“We would like to thank our clients for their support and collaboration which has enabled us to achieve and exceed our initial objectives.”

The founders were delighted to receive recognition from the Startup Awards 2023.

“We were really delighted to be recognised for our business success to date, and it has given us additional motivation to keep going and developing!”

they said.

With a commitment to training new talent and accelerating the transition to clean energy, Blake Clough Consulting is poised to continue growing into a leader in electricity consultancy.
