You had a very good understanding of sporting issues, and caught on quickly to the politics of Irish sport. You worked well with all the different groups around the table and listened very carefully to their feedback. You were tough but fair, and achieved the right balance. I would have no difficulty in reappointing Wharton for additional work.

As a Paralympic International Federation it was crucial for World Wheelchair Rugby that we ensured our governance was up-to-date, relevant and fit for purpose. Wharton Consulting really demonstrated their experience and skills in both the sporting and international NGO environments. Working with them was a constructive and positive experience.  Their attention to detail in shaping our governance documents was exceptional, as well as their ability to provide independent strategic guidance where needed.  I look forward to working with them in the future.

Wharton’s ability to work with all levels of personnel within our sport ranging from club volunteers to the World Class Programme professional staff is a quality that is often difficult to find. With Wharton you know they will endear themselves to all they work with and always make a full commitment to the task in hand.

Your advice, judgement and involvement in what were some difficult meetings and your attention to detail all the way through made my life as Chairman much easier! We could not have achieved the result without you … I’ve continued to receive unsolicited comments from individuals saying the report was the best they’d ever seen from the RFU.
