About AWICS‘AWICS’ is a management consultancy and training company. It was established by Adrian Waite in 1998. We specialise in providing finance and management support to clients in local government and housing across all parts of the UK. We have also developed a full range of training services, principally to those in local authorities, housing associations, and voluntary bodies. We are well known for our ability to analyse and explain complex financial and management issues clearly. Our mission statement is ‘Independence, Integrity, Value’. We therefore provide our services from an independent standpoint — delivered at a consistently high standard and at the best value for money available today. We are big enough to make a difference – but are small enough to care! Since May 2011, we are based in the Shire Hall in Appleby-in-Westmorland. AWICS Business Philosophy As a senior officer in local government, Adrian Waite became convinced of the need for management consultants and advisors who support public services in developing a new approach. That is why he originally decided to establish a new 'ethical' management consultancy. With the advent of 'austerity' the need for such an ethical approach has become even greater. Our mission statement is ‘Independence, Integrity, Value’. We therefore offer advise and provide training from an independent standpoint, designed to help the client to achieve their objectives — not burdened with our own preconceptions and objectives. Our consultants are of the highest calibre and we are passionate to observe the highest standards of integrity that should be expected in working with public services. Lastly, we offer great value for money to our clients. Ethical Management includes addressing the ‘four Ps’ of Purpose, People, Planet and Probity. Purpose is about balancing profitability with offering great value for money to clients and their complex objectives. People is about our obligations to all individuals who work with us as clients, staff or suppliers. Planet is about environmental sustainability. Probity is about upholding our standards as expected in the best public service organisations. This is not to say that 'AWICS' is a not-for-profit organisation. 'AWICS' is a commercial company but it is a commercial company that puts principles first. Key InformationCompany Nature:
