Clients of Ashridge Tailored Executive Education

Our clients

Our expertise is the development of interventions and programmes that help organisations reach both their learning and organisational goals.

The majority of Ashridge’s work is with organisations, accounting for 55-60% of our revenue. This is unusual in the business school world, traditionally more focused on its own research agendas and qualifications programmes. This focus alone makes us an ideal choice for many clients as they know they are working with a business school which provides both the rigour of an academic institution but also the breadth and depth of real-world business experience, of working with practitioners and leaders in the forefront on business today. Add to this our expertise in designing and delivering programmes that truly make a difference, our consultancy edge and our creativity and you have an unrivalled package.

We have a significant client base in Europe, the Middle East, the USA and China. Our sector experience is broad and includes transport and logistics, oil, pharmaceuticals, entertainment and media, leisure, professional services, brewing, retail, defence, construction, engineering, financial services, telecommunications, utilities and industrial manufacturing.
