Who we are

Our team

We are experienced, highly-skilled entrepreneurs blending our rich work experience and academic foundations with independent thinking, resulting in unique tailor-made solutions for our clients. Like the mountaineering connotation inferred by our name, where those skilled enough to know will recognise the merit of looking beyond the commercial attraction of the highest in search of the toughest, we hope we will stand out as a unique blend of skill and pragmatism, implementing workable, sustainable solutions in a highly challenging yet rewarding environment.
