With the re-entrance of the ‘Big Four’ into the advisory marketplace, Tom believes that clients are more ‘discerning’ and that consultants need to carry out as well as advise on work.

Tom continues by saying “the ability to execute and advise: I see that as being a pre-requisite to being successful in the market.
