About Us
Who We Are
Over the years we had seen far too many companies spend vast amounts of money on technology driven projects where the expected benefits never really materialised.
This often left those on the ground frustrated and those at the top asking “what just happened?” – potentially millions of pounds out of pocket. Worse still, businesses were often left with new risks which they had not yet considered. This created additional financial and operational headaches if those risks materialised (but hey – lets worry about that when we have to).
Our experiences did though show us that there is another way. So in 2014, DCR Partners was formed.
DCR Partners is an exciting blend of people, and between us we bring personality, curiosity, problem solving, technical and commercial skills. We all have different beliefs, different experiences, different skills, come from different cultures and have our own input to bring to the table.
We have a team of highly experienced professionals who have operated across a range of organisations, from senior positions in global consultancies, major global brands to start-up and scale-up organisations.
We keep things simple to focus on what is most important, balancing risk with the commercial realities of an organisation. This helps our clients make the most informed decisions when addressing their tactical, operational, and strategic needs.
We are passionate about helping our clients enhance performance and effectively manage risks in their business, while also improving their return on investment in technology and resilience.
Our Culture
We offer a dynamic, inclusive, and supportive workplace culture where all employees can thrive and reach their full potential and we empower our people to develop in the areas they are passionate about.
Our fundamental ethos here at DCR Partners is ‘Leading at all Levels’. Leadership isn't reserved for just those who are senior or have a big title, we believe that everyone can and should lead. It helps individuals feel empowered, build confidence, develop communication skills and importantly take comfort in knowing we are all on a journey of self-development and improvement.
