How I Work

Clear, simple and practical

Working with Borderland Projects is designed to be straightforward. Short, focused pieces of work with clear outcomes and transparent costs.

No long proposals or retainers. Just a clear process that adapts to what you need.

You bring the challenge

Every project starts with something you want to understand, decide, or move forward on. We begin with a short conversation to define what would be most useful, whether that is clarifying strategy, exploring a new market, or shaping an event idea into something deliverable.

I do the thinking and come back with answers

I research, analyse and distil what matters, drawing on experience in business strategy, event design and social impact. You will receive concise, evidence-based recommendations, sometimes written, sometimes discussed live, always in plain English and ready to act on.

Turnaround is usually one to two weeks for smaller projects.

You move from insight to action

You will have an independent perspective, clear options and a practical action plan.
Some clients take the recommendations and run with them; others ask me to stay involved, whether that means developing the plan further, conducting deeper research, or designing and delivering an event that puts the ideas into practice.

Either way, you stay in control of scope, cost and pace.

Transparency and Pricing

I believe consultancy should be easy to engage and easy to budget.
All projects are priced upfront, with no hidden extras, and most micro consulting work falls into one of three brackets:

  • £300–£500 → Short diagnostic or strategic review

  • £600–£900 → Market, impact or operational analysis

  • £1,000+ → Extended research, delivery planning or event project

You will always know the scope, timeline and cost before we start.
