The Development Partnership delivers management consultancy solutions that work
Helping clients meet their learning and development needs since 1992
We guide your business
The world of business has changed dramatically since The Development Partnership (DP) began helping clients meet their learning and development needs in 1992. Nevertheless, we still work with every client to address specific problems and create solutions that support individuals to maximise their potential – and in turn, help them to develop their colleagues – supporting them all to become highly effective and add greater value to their organisations.
DP works with these individuals and the organisation to develop appropriate, cost-effective solutions to fit those needs.
Our approach is quite simple but is immensely effective.

Since 1992 our business has focused on providing solutions covering performance-critical areas such as coaching, leadership and talent management.
Such solutions support improved business performance for our clients in the public, private and third sectors.
Everyone who works for DP has first-hand experience of management at all levels and understand real issues, especially the need for an organisation to be effective and financially sound.
We work in partnership with you to strengthen the skills and abilities of your people and add more value to your organisation.
What our clients say about us
“Working with the Development Partnership has been a great experience. The knowledge and support they have provided to our delegates on the programme has been very good. They have taken time to understand our organisation as well as the delegate’s themselves enabling them to flex and adapt to individual learning styles.”

“I found the supervision session incredibly useful, supportive, challenging and thought provoking. Julia was a really “interested” listener and I felt that she was genuinely trying (and succeeding) to understand my issues and the relationship felt adult to adult which I really welcomed. It’s not many people who can really stop me and make me think”
