In a significant professional milestone, EiB CEO, Scott Brown, and Strategic Bid Consultant, Soffia Marlin, have been awarded Chartered Management Consultant (ChMC) status by the Chartered Management Institute (CMI), following their assessments in January. This accolade is a testament to their exemplary management consulting skills and dedication to continuous professional development.

ChMC accreditation is the highest status you can achieve in the management consulting profession. It sets out a professional standard of career excellence for management consultants to aspire towards and which clients can benchmark against.

Last July, EiB achieved Chartered Management Consultant accreditation from CMI for our Learning and Development (L&D) programme. EiB’s bespoke L&D programme was assessed against the CMIs 54 ChMC competencies. Since then, EiB has continued their partnership with CMI to support their team’s professional journey to achieve ChMC status and embrace continuous professional development. EiB’s ChMC accreditation reflects the breadth of support offered as a consultancy to clients, including strategic challenge, solution architecture, bid management, bid writing and collaborative skills development.

EiB’s mission is to ‘invest in our people to develop talented multi-skilled teams, with the competencies and behaviours to achieve exceptional client outcomes’. Scott and Soffia provide role models to ensure all staff become Associate and Chartered Consultants as soon as possible. This underscores EiB’s dedication and commitment to nurturing the growth and development of our employees, through our ChMC accredited training programme. With an exciting 2025 ahead, EiB now has 23 members of the team registered for Associate or Chartered assessment.

“I am thrilled we have started the Chartered Management Consultant accreditation process in partnership with CMI. Over the past five years, EiB has grown to become the largest ‘employed’ work winning consultancy in the UK, with over 45 bid consultants. ChMC status further demonstrates the market-leading consultancy services we provide for our clients.” Scott Brown, Chief Executive.
