Moorhouse Consulting were celebrating at Monday’s MCA Award Ceremony, held at Grosvenor House, London, after being highly commended for three of the evening’s prizes.
The awards were for the ‘Strategy’ project category for their client, South East Coast Ambulance (SECAmb) Service, and two individual award categories. Christine Hollingsworth ChMC and Cora Bolger, both Managers, were highly commended for the Team Leader Consultant of the Year and Young Consultant of the Year awards respectively.
The Management Consultancies Association (MCA) is the voice of the UK consulting sector and the awards, celebrating consultancy excellence and the impact consulting has on our society, have been an important event in the UK consulting calendar for over 25 years.
To achieve Highly Commended for the Strategy award, Moorhouse needed to demonstrate ‘the development of a new strategy, to a critical aspect of a client’s strategic plans and approach.’
Moorhouse partnered with SECAmb to co-design a strategy addressing critical operational challenges and improving patient care. Embedded within SECAmb, Moorhouse engaged over 3,000 stakeholders across the organisation and wider system to ensure shared ownership and alignment. The resulting strategy introduced innovative patient segmentation and virtual care models, enhancing efficiency, morale, and financial sustainability. It repositioned SECAmb as an “Urgent and Emergency Care Navigator.” Within a year, SECAmb launched five Integrated Care Hubs, preventing 1,200 emergency admissions and saving £6 million while improving care across South-East England.

Commenting on their achievement, Managing Partner, Richard Brackstone said:
Moorhouse is tackling complex challenges within vital services. I’m proud of our team for delivering a strategy that changed lives. I am also delighted to see Christine and Cora recognised for their individual excellence and reflecting the incredibly high talent bar at Moorhouse. Together, these achievements reflect the impact, purpose and culture that define Moorhouse.
These awards mark the ninth year that Moorhouse has participated in the MCA awards. They are also another success for Moorhouse in 2025, after being recognised within the top 2% of UK consultancies in the UK by the Financial Times.
Thank you to our clients at South East Coast Ambulance Service for their testimonial and support.
