Wharton Consulting was founded in May 2000 as a specialist sports consultancy led by people with direct experience of participation and management at the highest level of sport. Our primary focus is on strategic business and performance planning, people development and governance solutions within sport. A large proportion of our work is conducted within the national governing body environment, esp
ecially where this relates to Government and Sports Council strategies for sport – working in and around the funding programmes which the Sports Councils deliver to support performance, development and governance activities. Our consultancy service is built on personal knowledge of the needs of our clients, on the desire to create the extra percentage point that separates the great from the good, and on a guarantee of quality in delivery. Wharton Consulting offers consultancy services across a wide range of aspects of the sports industry, including the following:
• strategic and business planning
• performance planning and implementation
• governance solutions and development
• people development and mentoring
• management and administration
• tournament planning and event management
