As well as being a Warden to the Worshipful Company of Management Consultants, where he contributes to the Events, Membership and Pro Bono programme, he is a Liveryman and Assistant to the Court of the Worshipful Company of Carmen.

Malcolm has over 20 years management consultancy experience with PwC, Deloitte and EY, as well as founding his own consultancy. In parallel he has held a number of Non-Exec Directorships. He joined the Worshipful Company of Management Consultants in 2014, was clothed a Liveryman in 2015 and joined the Court of Assistants in 2016. He is a member of the Company’s Governance Committee and was elected Fourth Warden in September 2022. His motivation to join the company was twofold: he has always had an interest in education and the development of management consultants; also, he is attracted by ProBono work and the potential to give something back to society. Since joining the Company, he has been pursuing both of these aims.

His most notable contributions to the Company have been in the areas of education and development. He was part of the core team working to develop the Centre for Management Consulting Excellence. He has been the Chair of the Education Committee for the past four years and has helped to rejuvenate the work of that Committee. As a result, he has played a leadership role in a number of Company activities, including: the annual Education Supper/Lecture, the LSL Careers Festival, the Sherriff’s Challenge, our representation at LCSC, oversight of the further development of CMCE, and special events such as the “Future of Education” panel discussion. He has organised and facilitated the "My Most Interesting Whatever" virtual workshop programme during the pandemic.

Malcolm's interests in the NonProfit Sector have continued to expand, both in the Company as an active mentor and elsewhere. He has recently joined the Advisory Board of the Centre for Charity Effectiveness to represent the Company. Outside the Company he is the Chairman of United Response (one of the UK’s larger charities) as well as an active member of the Association of Chairs and other charity networking forums. He is currently leading a major research project on "Tomorrow's Charity Chair".

Collette is a leadership, team and personal development consultant with over 35 years experience in operational, policy and HR roles in the largest departments of the UK civil service. Alongside her public sector career Collette is also a lifelong volunteer, primarily for Girlguiding and Scouting, having held roles at all levels including local leadership for 10 to 15 year old young members through to management and Adviser posts at County, Region and National levels, with leading roles for leader training and promoting international opportunities.

She is a Chartered Fellow of CIPD, an MBA and holds an MSc in the use of technology in education. Within the civil service Collette specialised in leadership development, executive coaching for senior civil servants in pivotal roles, Director-General led top team effectiveness, the people aspect of change management and mentoring fast-streamers and junior talent. As a volunteer, in addition to working with the uniformed organisations she also spent more than 20 years as a School Governor for a Special Needs school in NW London and latterly as Trustee on the Board of a seven-site Special Needs Academy.

Having left the civil service in early 2022 Collette became an independent consultant, working with Henley Business School as external faculty, with a focus on both the personal development and reputation management aspects of their international MBA programme and, as an experienced Action Learning facilitator, on the MA Leadership, Level 7 Apprenticeship in Leadership and PG Cert programmes. With a long term background in Systemic Coaching she is currently exploring initiatives with the creative industry and as an equine-assisted coach.

Kanan started as a graduate trainee at Barclays Bank and some years in, answering a call for a French-speaker to help out on a project in Paris, found her metier! Being naturally bossy and organising, with a keen eye for detail, project management was a natural fit. Thus began a long career in the City, managing large change programmes for international financial services organisations, including LIFFE, the NYSE, and the InterContinental Exchange, software solutions vendor Omgeo, the London Clearing House and various banks, working as a freelance consultant since 2004. Along the way, an affinity for numbers and a fondness for tax regulation lead to a qualification as a Corporate Treasurer, which she put to good use working as deputy Treasurer at Richemont, the holding group for luxury goods companies such as Cartier and Mont Blanc – yes there IS a handbag in the closet and a pen set in the drawer!

Answering another request to join a team got Kanan involved in her second career in academia, starting as a Visiting Lecturer in business and consulting skills at City University’s Business School, progressing to Module Leader. Wanting always to be fully qualified in whatever she does, Kanan is also completing a Master's degree in Academic Practice and, still retaining that liking for organising things around her, applied for and has recently been appointed to a role with the senior leadership team for City University as AVP for Civic Engagement.

Kanan has a keen interest in all things ‘society’, being engaged in a number of pro-bono initiatives to support charities and local community groups, not least the Southside Theatre Company, for which she has been Treasurer, directed shows, and acted in a range of roles for over 30 years.
