Fractional Business Consultant in Salford
Senior, board-level strategy for Salford businesses, schools and social enterprises — without the cost of a full-time hire. Based in Oldham, working across Salford and the wider Greater Manchester region.
Salford's growth — MediaCityUK, the Quays, a thriving SME base — makes it one of the most dynamic places to do business in the region.
Imagine Consultants is a boutique firm of specialist consultants serving Salford and the wider Greater Manchester area. We work with organisations in Salford and the surrounding areas (MediaCityUK, Salford Quays, Eccles, Walkden) who need experienced strategic leadership on a flexible, affordable basis — across business, education, compliance and marketing.
How we help Salford organisations
- Business strategy & growth — clear, costed plans for Salford SMEs ready to scale, with a non-executive director's steady hand on the board.
- Education & MAT consultancy — IT spend analysis, governance and employer partnerships for Salford schools and Multi-Academy Trusts.
- Social enterprise support — helping Salford purpose-led organisations build sustainable funding and commercial models.
- IT & digital strategy — sensible, cost-effective technology decisions from a technology-business founder.
Why a local fractional consultant?
National consultancies parachute someone in. We're already here — embedded in the Greater Manchester economy and connected across business, education, local authority and government. For Salford organisations, that local intelligence and network is part of the value.
Areas we cover near Salford
MediaCityUK, Salford Quays, Eccles, Walkden — and all ten Greater Manchester boroughs. Remote and hybrid engagements are also available.
