About
At NQE Global, we help impact-driven startups and small businesses in the UK, USA, and Europe achieve their goals through expert project management. ​
We understand the unique challenges that growing businesses face - tight budgets, resource constraints, and ambitious targets. That’s why we focus on results-driven project management that gets things done, rather than drowning you in unnecessary processes and jargon.
Our mission
Startups and small businesses offer an exciting opportunity to tackle real-world problems through innovation and creativity. We’re continually inspired by our clients and have made it our mission to help them achieve their goals.
​
We believe that great project management can make the difference between success and failure. With some studies suggesting that 90% of startups and new businesses fail, a structured, well-managed approach can significantly increase the chances of success. ​
Our mission is simple: help impact-driven businesses deliver successful projects while upskilling their teams - giving them the tools they need to thrive long after we’ve left.
Our values
Excellence
We go above and beyond to deliver the highest standards, even under tight constraints.
Continuous learning and improvement
We learn from our successes as well as our failures to continuously improve outcomes for our clients.
Practical use over theory
We prioritise simple, practical and actionable solutions over jargon or unnecessary complexity, ensuring our clients see impact without wading through theory.
Authenticity
We say what we mean, and we mean what we say. We value open and honest communication that builds trust, ensuring an effective and enjoyable partnership with our clients.
Innovative thinking
We are curious and open to new ways of doing things. We bring fresh perspectives and creative solutions to every project, and we are inspired by those who dare to think differently.
Solutions focused
We see challenges as puzzles waiting to be solved. With fresh ideas and a creative mindset, we take the weight off our clients’ shoulders, so they can focus on their vision while we handle the rest.
Socially conscious
We care about the impact we have on the world. From our daily interactions to our business decisions, we aim to make choices that promote social good.
