SME News Q4 2022/ 30 Best Business Management Consultancy 2026 – Black Country Once a profession often questioned for its value and cost, project management is now widely recognised as an integral component of any team involved in delivering to the built environment. Furthermore, the government’s current emphasis on housing delivery has driven an ever-increasing demand for skilled project managers. Enter Kinver Business Solutions, a Dudley-based project management consultancy offering a bespoke, solution-based service to clients across public and private sectors. Kinver Business Solutions’ very own Darowen Jones told us more below, as the company is named in the Midlands Enterprise Awards 2026. Founded in 2014 by Managing Director Darowen Jones and Director Natasha Jones, Kinver Business Solutions was established to go beyond mere consultancy services, building lasting partnerships with clients throughout various industries. Drawing on his experience in social housing and project management, Darowen identified a need for tailored project and programme management support throughout the entire project lifecycle. Kinver Business Solutions has grown significantly in the 12 years since then. The company has expanded its services across both public and private sectors, including regeneration, heritage, leisure, housing, and compliance. Demonstrating an unwavering commitment to excellence, the company has successfully built a diverse client base supported by a stellar reputation for delivering successful outcomes. Today, Kinver Business Solutions’ team of experienced specialists offers a bespoke project and programme management solutionbased service to clients requiring guidance throughout the lifecycle of their project. Its team is adept at developing projects from conception and guiding clients and stakeholders through the various milestones before final evaluation and legacy planning. Furthermore, the team has a demonstrated history of successfully stepping into failing projects. Kinver Business Solutions takes the time to understand the challenges that have hindered the progression of each project, before delivering pragmatic and innovative solutions to get it back on track. This work is underpinned by the four core values of honesty, integrity, professionalism, and client satisfaction. In a landscape saturated by big players, Kinver Business Solutions stands out for its positive, solutions-focused outlook. Challenges are inevitable in property and regeneration projects, and the team feels comfortable addressing difficult issues and raising them constructively and professionally. It works collaboratively with colleagues, clients, and stakeholders to deliver proactive solutions aligned with their specific objectives and constraints. Whilst there are significant opportunities within the sectors in which Kinver Business Solutions operates, the market remains highly competitive. This space is dominated by Tier 1 consultancies: large multinational organisations that are often key suppliers to central government. Prior to the introduction of the Procurement Act 2023, a substantial portion of the work Kinver Business Solutions now delivers was awarded to these Tier 1 consultants through framework agreements that enabled direct contract awards with limited competition on quality and cost. Now, the Act has fostered a more inclusive procurement environment, allowing the smaller players to play a larger role in public sector projects. With increased access to these local authority projects, Kinver Business Solutions’ specialist team takes immense pride in consistently outperforming larger competitors on both quality and value for money, whilst continuing to strengthen the company’s reputation and presence across the sectors it serves. Looking to the future, Kinver Business Solutions is excited about the opportunities that lie ahead. The company remains committed to delivering sustainable growth within the local authority and social housing sectors, whilst continuing to uphold its core values of honesty, integrity, and innovation. Over the next 12 months, the team’s focus will be on expanding Kinver Business Solutions’ client base and further showcasing the breadth and quality of the service that has earned its status as Black Country’s Best Business Management Consultancy 2026. The government’s commitment to delivering 1.5 million new homes is expected to create substantial opportunities across the social housing sector. Following a decade of underinvestment in development and regeneration, demand for specialist expertise is likely to increase significantly. While local authorities and housing providers will continue to invest in recruiting and developing their own talent, the depth of experience and specialist knowledge within Kinver Business Solutions places the team in a strong position to support the sector and deliver transformational projects that create lasting value. “The introduction of the Procurement Act 2023 presents significant opportunities, opening access to markets and contracts that were previously more challenging for micro and SME organisations to secure,” Darowen shared. “Having achieved year-on-year turnover growth of 25% for the past three consecutive years, we are confident in our ability to maintain this momentum. As we continue to grow, we remain determined to challenge the status quo, demonstrating that agile micro and SME consultancies can consistently outperform larger Tier 1 organisations in both service quality and value for money.” Contact: Darowen Jones Company: Kinver Business Solutions Ltd Web Address: www.kinverbusiness.co.uk
