Hamish Davidson rejoins John Harvey, this time at IRIS Consulting.
Hamish Davidson, former head of Veredus and PricewaterhouseCoopers Executive Search and Selection, has been appointed as non-executive Chairman of IRIS Consulting — the London-based change management consultancy practice.

The announcement was made at a ROOM at RTPI event at the Houses of Parliament on 7 March 2005. His role will involve giving strategic advice and developing synergies within the market place. The appointment sees Hamish rejoining forces with John Harvey, Managing Director and founder of IRIS Consulting, as both worked together in the 1990s at Price Waterhouse Management Consultants.

John Harvey said:
"The Harvey-Davidson combination works very well. It is a tried and tested business machine capable of powerful performance in travelling the extra mile to meet client needs.

"IRIS Consulting is at the forefront in helping organisations to meet the new agendas facing them. This typically involves a combination of research, analysis, value for money appraisal, developing business strategies, change management and leadership to improve performance and deliver sustainable solutions. Hamish's extensive networks, expertise and his no-nonsense approach will add further depth to our business and deliver even better value to our clients".

Hamish's new role is in addition to the position of chairman and senior partner that he took at the beginning of March with Rockpools - a newly formed recruitment consultancy and part of the Pinnacle group.

Hamish Davidson said:
"I see considerable benefits in making the linkages between the type of services provided by IRIS Consulting and the need to find tomorrow's leaders and managers, from various walks of life - across all sectors.

"IRIS Consulting is at the leading-edge in key policy arenas such as public/private partnerships, equalities, policy evaluation and change management. To translate these policies into improved service delivery requires top class leaders and managers and this is the critical cross-over challenge that faces all public sector organisations in the next decade."
