Advance TRS Management Consultancy

Advance TRS Management Consultancy was launched in April 2024 with a bold vision: to break the mould of traditional consultancy by delivering agile, high-impact solutions that inject talent, expertise, and change—without a heavy footprint.

Founded by Andy Ridout, Group Founder & Managing Director of the Advance TRS Group, and James Bowry, an infrastructure project management specialist, Advance TRS Management Consultancy is a distinct, standalone service designed to complement, but remain distinctly separate from, the Group’s recruitment business. While we share the same commitment to quality and bespoke solutions, our consultancy model is built to deploy quickly, solve challenges efficiently, and drive transformation without unnecessary complexity.

We bring deep expertise in Project & Programme Management, Commercial Management, Project Controls, Health & Safety, Change Management, Organisational Development and Human Resources with a particular focus on transport, aviation, and infrastructure. Our consultants offer rapid speed-to-deploy solutions, helping clients stay ahead in fast-moving environments. With an entrepreneurial mindset and an unwavering focus on excellence, we balance proven professional practices with innovative approaches to meet the evolving needs of the infrastructure sector.

At Advance TRS Management Consultancy, we challenge convention by embedding strategic, high-impact expertise into client teams with agility and efficiency—providing the right talent at the right time. This lightweight but powerful approach allows us to deliver measurable impact while keeping projects lean and effective.

Whether you need specialist project leadership, commercial insight, or expert advisory services, Advance TRS Management Consultancy is built to move fast, think differently, and deliver tangible results.
