About Us

EPN Consulting is:

Consultancy
With the increasing complexity of technology and policies organisations need more diversified skills and expertise to win challenging business contracts. In future, the most successful companies will need multicultural and multidisciplinary teams to deliver the best solutions possible. EPN Consulting aims to meet this need by providing professional services in a number of subjects based around European Projects (assistance and management), ITS & Sustainable Transport, Environment & Energy, ICT and Innovation. Thanks to its innovative structure, EPN Consulting is able to provide Clients with an exclusively tailored professional service that large consulting firms find hard to supply. Some examples are:
  • Meeting Clients at their premises on an agreed number of times (in the UK and abroad)
  • Professional Services provided by taking into account cutting-edge results from past and current European Projects to avoid re-inventing the wheel
  • Initial Market Intelligence at European level before starting working on Clients’ assignments to find uniquely innovative solutions
  • Attending Professionals Events (in the UK and abroad) on behalf of Clients and completing the service with a report
  • Extended Flexibility (regarding calendar and topics) in organising training courses also at Clients’ premises
Innovative Network of Professionals
Along with the Consultancy service, EPN Consulting is also an innovative network of professionals located in Europe (although experts from other geographic areas are welcomed). In recent times, being part of a network has become crucial, not only to find a wide range of expertise, but also to foster lateral thinking. Without innovation there is rarely any improvement, and therefore little chance of surviving in the global market. Joining EPN Consulting means to find:
  • Different Backgrounds Merged
  • Several Capabilities Complemented
  • Major Strength in Bidding
  • Exclusive Services to EPN Consulting Members only
  • Personal Relationship with each Member
Sustainability
EPN Consulting is very much committed to working on studies and solutions that are able to reduce the CO2 emissions. The EPN Consulting’s modus operandi goes into this direction: communications with partners and clients are mainly based on emails, phone calls, audio and video conference calls. When travelling is needed, public transport and car sharing facilities are preferred to private cars.
