PSM The Professionals and The Consultants Club are the brainchild of Susanne Pugsley and Matt Baldwin. Both have long careers as senior marketing communications and BD leads inside some of the UK’s most dynamic professional services firms and as independent consultants.

Following Matt’s highly successful launch of The Professionals two years ago we wanted to expand the offering. Susie noted the gap in the market for Consultants as in-house teams are well served already, In fact we are not looking to replace any of the existing networks – they are enormously respected and continue to play an important role. But we want to do something a little different. A club that is focused on independent consultants and that celebrates the contributions they bring.

We recognise that there is a valuable referral opportunities between consultants that needs to be nurtured and encouraged.

And there is good reason to do so. In-house marketing teams and leads will often turn to the same consultants over and over again. This is, of course, because they deliver first-class work. But it is also because they find it increasingly difficult to discover the new consultant talent in our growing market.

PSM – The Consultants Club will be good for your businesses, will expand your networks and will celebrate creativity whilst all of the time having fun.

PSM – The Circus will be the programme of events that PSM offers. Some will be aimed purely at the Consultants in the Club or those thinking of joining. Others will be for in house or anyone in the sector who wants seeks information, connection and support.
