Since our founding in 2004, we’ve been proud to remain an independent, privately owned firm, becoming an Employee-Owned firm in 2025, based in Nottingham, working with clients throughout the UK.
We’re a high performing team that looks after each other, putting a huge amount of effort into creating an environment that offers meaningful work, the opportunity to develop and grow, and the ability to have fun whilst doing it. We specialise in Transformation, Strategy and Commercial Excellence, Operational Turnaround and Recovery.
We’re proud of the recognition we've received for our growth and impact. We’ve been named one of the UK’s Leading Management Consultants by the Financial Times, featured in The Sunday Times Hundred as one of the fastest-growing private companies, and earned multiple Best Workplaces awards. In 2025 Ian Barker, our Managing Partner, was twice recognised as a finalist for Entrepreneur of the Year, at national level by Lloyds and regional by EY for the Midlands.

Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You will be given huge amounts of trust, freedom, and support where you need it to deliver in your role.
We pride ourselves on providing our teams flexibility and control over their work and we aren’t a traditional consultancy working all hours and spending all week away from home. That said, meeting our clients’ expectations is critical and so your workload is likely to peak and trough, and there is an expectation of travel to client sites and our office in Nottingham.
Who we’re looking for:
Consulting isn’t the right environment for everyone, and we want to make sure the people that join us love their time here. To ensure everyone continues to thrive at BFY we’re looking for people who have a background in the industries in which we specialise or previous consulting experience. You might also have continuous improvement or change management experience from a different industry.
We need people aligned with our values who are passionate about high quality output, have a strong work ethic and take pride in their work. We want people who can contribute to building a high performing team, who aspire to lead and inspire others around them to deliver exceptional client outputs. You’ll be able to communicate extremely well and enjoy building relationships with people. You’ll be driven to progress and own your own development, making use of the extensive L&D resources we make available.
As a general guide, Consultants at BFY have 2-3 years’ experience in a change/CI/project focused role. We’ve found this gives people the mental models and confidence they need to succeed and deliver exceptional results.
What we’re offering
- Competitive package up to £60k based on experience including pension and biannual bonus scheme (in line with performance reviews)
- 33 days holidays (25 days plus 8 bank holidays) and a holiday purchase scheme
- Receive 1 additional day of holiday per year after 2 years of service (up to 5 extra days)
- Private medical insurance for you and cohabiting partners and children under 18
- Access to high-quality support through our wellbeing partners Plumm Health and Mintago
- Option for additional pension salary sacrifice
- EV salary sacrifice scheme
We embarked on a journey a few years ago to ensure we created a growing, sustainable consulting firm that would give people meaningful work, be a great environment for development, while preserving our culture of "we're a bit different".
We deliver exceptional work for clients, as part of a high performing team

We have great fun. We do a company wide check in twice a week, a team quiz on a Friday, regular social events and we have an awesome selection of memes for all occasions.
What do our people say about working here?
BFY really focuses on the employees and understand that the majority of the job is learned whilst working for clients. They teach you the essentials of the business and provide learning material to start your consultancy journey to ensure everyone has the same initial level and then you start consultancy work within a week or two. It's really incredible to see the level of trust they place in you to allow you to work with clients so early on, rather than have you sat watching from the sidelines. - Tom Deen, Consultant, joined BFY December 2023.
“When you join a new company, it can be daunting, am I good enough? Will I be able to do it? Imposter syndrome can be a real worry, joining BFY is a genuinely awesome experience. Through the process you get to speak to everyone on the team and what is amazing is how open and readily available to help EVERYONE is! The culture here is fantastic and you get to make your own decisions within an incredibly supportive framework." – Kev Brown, Senior Manager, joined BFY September 2022
