Forbes World's Best Management Consulting Firms 2025

We are proud to announce our inclusion in the Forbes World's Best Management Consulting Firms 2025. This recognition reflects the trust placed in our consulting expertise by customers across government, defence and security, and critical industries - and underscores our ability to help organisations successfully tackle today’s most complex challenges.

Compiled by Forbes and Statista, this annual global ranking honours consultancies that consistently deliver value, insight and positive impact for their customers. The selection process is rigorous, based on independent surveys of both consulting executives and customers worldwide. Companies are assessed against a wide spectrum of sectors and consulting capabilities - including business transformation and complex programme delivery - where our cross-cutting services stand out.

This year’s list recognises 227 leading consultancies globally, after extensive evaluation across 13 customer sectors and 15 service areas. Our inclusion on this list for 2025, following earlier recognition by the Financial Times UK’s Leading Management Consultants & Consulting Networks List and as an MCA Awards 2025 finalist, demonstrates our continued commitment to excellence, innovation and outstanding customer service.

We support UK central government departments, national security agencies, policing and border security organisations on everything from designing target operating models to delivering complex transformation programmes. Our independent perspective is grounded in the technical knowledge and specialist domain experience of our brilliant people. This enables us to guide our customers through the dynamic geo-political landscape, financial pressures, data and technology challenges faced by governments and security organisations worldwide. This is why we are a trusted partner to leading organisations such as the Ministry of Defence, Home Office Border Force and the Metropolitan Police Service - delivering operational impact at pace in mission-critical environments.

Alan Hodgson, Senior Business Development Manager, Central Government and National Security, UK and Europe, shares:

“It’s a real privilege for BMT to be named among Forbes’ World’s Best Management Consulting Firms in 2025. This recognition reflects our ongoing commitment to helping government and security organisations successfully deliver their transformation and change ambitions. We thank our customers and partners for the trust they place in us, and our teams for continuously delivering solutions that protect, enable and transform public services every day.”

We are also delighted to have been recognised by the Financial Times earlier this year for our work as a trusted consulting partner and look forward to the final MCA Awards 2025 results this November.

For us, these collective acknowledgments are more than milestones - they are proof that our partnership approach, technical independence, relentless innovation and deep sector experience make a difference for our customers, our people and society.
