  • Continuously innovating our service offerings (for example, incorporating the latest advancements in AI, or new training methodologies) to meet the evolving needs of businesses.
  • Fostering a community of forward thinking leaders and organisations that learn from each other through our workshops, resources, and network, we want to connect clients and partners in ways that spark collabouration and collective growth.
  • Expanding our reach while maintaining quality perhaps opening additional locations or strategic partnerships in other parts of New Zealand (and even beyond), all while preserving the personal touch and high standards that define us.
  • Being a role model in ethical and sustainable business. We envision not only helping clients with sustainability, but also ensuring our own operations are carbon-conscious, community-oriented, and reflective of the positive change we advocate.
  • Ultimately, our vision is about impact. We want every business we work with to become stronger and more resilient for the future. When companies thrive adopting innovation, growing sustainably, and leading with purpose it strengthens our economy and community.

Why

Choose Us?

With so many consultancies and service providers out there, why do companies choose Chase & Marshal and stay with us?

Holistic Approach: We offer a rare combination of services under one roof – from strategy consulting to tech implementation to staff training. This means we can see the bigger picture of your business and ensure all the pieces work together. You won't need to juggle multiple consultants; we can handle multifaceted projects seamlessly.
Local Insight, Global Perspective: Being a New Zealand firm, we understand the local market dynamics, cultural nuances, and regulatory environment. Many of us have international experience too, so we bring global best practices and innovative ideas that we tailor for the NZ context. It's the best of both worlds.
Client-Centric Customisation: Everything we do is customised. We don't use cookie-cutter solutions because no two businesses are exactly alike. Our clients appreciate that we start by listening. We take their unique circumstances into account and design our engagements around their specific goals, industry, and team.
Track Record of Results: We're proud of the success stories we've been part of. From lifting a company's revenue by revamping their strategy, to cutting costs with process improvements, to boosting team productivity through training – our case studies demonstrate real outcomes. (See our Resources section for some examples.) We bring that proven expertise to each new client, with references available.
Responsive & Agile: Need a quick brainstorming session on a sudden issue? Have to pivot a project due to market changes? We stay flexible and responsive. As a smaller firm, we can adapt quickly and devote our full attention to your needs. You won't get lost in bureaucracy or wait weeks for answers. We pride ourselves on being just a phone call away and turning things around fast when it counts.
Long-Term Partnership: We aim to build lasting relationships. Many of our clients return for multiple projects or ongoing advice, effectively making us an extension of their company. We value that trust deeply. When you work with Chase & Marshal, you gain a partner who is genuinely invested in your success for the long haul, not just a vendor completing a transaction.
