VENDOR UPDATES:

As the market picks up, solution providers to the financial services industry are re-engaging with the consulting community.

CityIQ, as one of the established players in the UK market, has been inundated with requests from providers seeking to update us on their products and services.

Indeed, since the start of the year nearly thirty solutions providers, both mainstream and niche, have contacted us asking for the opportunity to present their solutions.

As a result we have decided reluctantly to hold off from scheduling any further presentations.

If you are a solution provider wishing to make us aware of your capabilities we would be grateful if for now you could email your website address and product details to enquiries@cityiq.com.

Please note: CityIQ is a privately owned, independent consultancy. Although the company can and does work closely with other organisations that operate in the securities industry we do not enter into any financial or commercial arrangements that would compromise our ability to offer, impartial, objective advice to our clients.

 

NEW COURSE:

Project Leadership

A Framework for Project Sponsors & Business Owners

CityIQ has developed a highly focused course designed to provide Project Sponsors and Business Owners with the support and guidance they need to lead a project to a successful conclusion.

Please contact us for further details on the course modules.
