About us

We're an ethical company

Real Consultancy is about offering you more and helping you give back. We developed out of Broadway, the homelessness charity with more than 25 years experience helping people make the journey from street to home.

Find out more on the Broadway website.

We’re proud of our roots in charity. Being ethical is at the very core of who we are and what we do. Relating to people, and helping them, is second nature to us.

For our customers, it means that you’re helping homeless people every time you work with us.

Because our customers also want to make a difference. They want their people to be happy but also to enjoy their work. They want their IT and finance systems to be as cost-effective and energy efficient as possible – now and as they grow.

What clients say about us

‘It’s been like having an HR department that we don’t need full-time but can ring at any time and get advice. Very good value.’

 ‘Having the back up has been enormously helpful – it’s a comfort to know you can call when anything is needed.’

‘Before, we didn’t even have the pieces of the jigsaw. Now we have them and the commitment to put them together.’

Training

‘Absolutely amazing – the core competencies course was really useful and made me realise that I’m not actually addressing the problems here.’

'The development plan was a real eye opener and made us realise that we are doing lots of development, it’s not just about having a budget to send people on courses and going through the motions.’

Support

‘Very beneficial all round, clear and specific. I’d say to anyone “you need this”.’

‘In the past, we had to ring round various places and use the Internet.  It took a lot of time to access information.  Now we’re on the phone to Real immediately and get an answer fairly quickly. Every time we’ve queried something, we’ve always got a good answer.  Real checks things out quickly if they’re not sure straightaway.’

‘Before Real, I would rely on legal advice from solicitors on a case-by-case basis.  Now I can draft a letter and e-mail it to Real.’

Policy Consultancy

‘I feel I can manage more effectively in a multi cultural environment now, and I know what the parameters of “very careful” are.’

'We’re moving from a caring, passionate family that’s all things to everyone to a professional organisation with more focus.’

‘We are putting policies in place. We started with attendance, then flexible working. We will work towards a regular supervision and appraisal structure, consistent sickness, leave etc policies, with staff files that are useful and show progress.’
