About Consultmates
Businesses need more than advice.
Who we are
Consultmates was established around a straightforward principle: businesses need more than advice. They need people who understand commercial challenges, recognise opportunities and can help turn ideas into action.
Combining experience across business operations, franchise management, commercial development, technology and international relationships, Consultmates works with organisations at different stages of their development.
Our approach is built around transparency, practical thinking, accountability and long-term commercial relationships.
Our Philosophy
Building Success Together.
We believe successful business relationships are built through trust, transparency, shared objectives and consistent delivery. We prioritise long-term value over short-term gains.
Transparency
Clear advice, honest assessments and openness about what we can and cannot do.
Practical thinking
Recommendations designed to be implemented, not simply presented.
Accountability
Ownership of our role in every engagement and its outcomes.
Long-term relationships
We prioritise long-term value over short-term gains.
Founder-led
Direct access to the principal consultant.
Zubair Hussain is a CMI Chartered Manager with ten years of experience across the quick-service restaurant, retail and consulting industries.
That background shapes how Consultmates works. The pace of customer-facing businesses, the discipline of multi-site retail and the commercial scrutiny of consulting all feed into every assessment we make — so recommendations are grounded in how organisations actually run, not in theory alone.
Clients work directly with Zubair from first conversation through to delivery, without layers of account management. Where an engagement calls for specialist expertise, we draw on a carefully developed network of independent specialist partners and refer regulated work to appropriately qualified professionals.
