‘It’s exciting times at CBO, we’re a small local firm with a big footprint, we’re growing, and this combination enables us to work in client-side roles across a diverse portfolio of clients,’ said Mr Ash.

‘Maturing the service lines is a key part of our business plan and allows us to support our clients with their most challenging and complex projects and change programmes.’

I have complete confidence in Dom to help deliver successful outcomes for our clients and for us at CBO,’ said founder and CEO, Philip Smith.
