We're not Like the Others
Fed up with being taken for rides by poor quality consultants?
WESTTHOR was founded with a unique ethos. We don't just talk about commitment to clients and value; we live and die by it.
WESTTHOR is a medium sized company run by business consultants and professionals. Our leaders don't sit back at headquarters making decisions from ivory towers. We're in the trenches with our clients and people every step of the way.
Our Standards Are the Highest
Our people have many years of business, IT and professional experience. Everyone on our team has real world knowledge gained during many years of working at the sharp end of business. Many boast an MBA or other advanced degrees. But degrees are not enough, they have real world, industry recognised certifications in a variety of fields. When you work with WESTTHOR, you won't have newbie's on their first project trying to tell you how to "reengineer your business processes" you will have someone who has been there, seen it and most probably gained a few scars in the process.
Experience
We all started at the bottom and worked our way up to running our own business. We have all been partners or management in other organisations so we can honestly and correctly assess YOUR NEEDS, give you accurate estimates and answer your questions.
First-timers. New guys. Fresh meat. No matter what you call them, the result is the same. They ask the most questions, take the most time to learn your business and make the most mistakes.
Low quality consultants may be slightly cheaper to hire, but they'll cost more in training, setup, productivity, QA and long-term support.
At WESTTHOR, skills are our principal asset. Our reputation is based on our ability to select the best in the field. That means that you don't have to spend time and money interviewing or training our team. We guarantee we will bring vast project experience to the table.
Successful Projects with Top Clients
Our team are all from blue chip financial services, FTSE 100, government and military backgrounds.
We can promise you that our team have proven project delivery skills, and are remunerated in line with the success of your project. We work with you to unlock the true power of your business.
Our solutions will help you to minimise risk and provide step-by-step advice on how to cost-effectively implement effective business strategies and tactics.
We do not think we are that smart and know all answers. That’s were you come in, we can act as guides, but only you know your organisation; your people and partners, we can help you to get the most out of your resources, helping you to develop innovative ideas of your own.
Social Responsibility
Like anyone in business, we are in business to make money. At WESTTHOR we also believe in giving something back. We are unashamedly proud of being British and proud of our local communities. We believe that everyone should be given opportunities to develop to the best of their abilities.
Team members at WESTTHOR are expected to contribute in active membership of professional bodies; use their skills and specialisations in helping to develop today’s young people into the productive adults of tomorrow. We aim to help promote the ideas of contribution and social responsibility in our multi-cultural society. Listed below are some of our contributions past and present.
We have members who given up their spare time to help at local Scout, Cadet and Territorial Army units. We are happy to provide presentations and mentoring to colleges and universities. We firmly believe that by investing in the youth of today we will all profit tomorrow.
Professional Responsibility
The basic responsibility of all at WESTTHOR Ltd and its associates is to serve our clients with integrity and competence.
We know that we are being hired for independent judgement and objectivity, technical expertise, analytical skill and concentrated attention to the solving problems. We will provide those skills. We will be impartial.

We also contribute in the development of Information Assurance methods within Central Government and where possible will champion the cause of developing our local region as the ideal place to grow and develop business within.
We will guard the confidentiality of all client information. We will not take financial gain or any other advantage based on inside information. We will not serve competing clients on sensitive problems without obtaining the approval of each client to do so. We will inform the client of any circumstances, which might influence our judgement or objectivity.
Before accepting assignments, we will confer with clients in sufficient detail to understand problems and the study needed to identify and then provide solutions. Preliminary consultations are conducted confidentially, on terms agreed to by clients.
We will accept only those assignments we are qualified perform and will provide real benefits to clients.
Whenever feasible, we agree with the client in advance; fees for assignments. We will declare where we accept fees or commissions from others for recommending equipment, supplies or services to our clients.
Assignments are carried out in a manner which best satisfies the client and where applicable Assignments are carried out in a manner which best satisfies the client and where applicable in accordance with the Code of Professional Practice of the British Computer Society, the ISC2 and ISACA.
