Our Story

Our founder director Peter Hastings set up {n}.bora with the goal of bringing together select partners with true, meaningful experience of global organisational change management, innovation, operations, delivery, and best practice, and bring all that expertise to market for the benefit of enterprises and organisations in a way that is tailor made and customised to the scale of those organisations. For too long, fully advanced IT and business consultancy services have only been available to FTSE100 or Fortune 500 companies. Large corporate consultancies often view smaller organisations as “too small to bother.” {n}.bora aims to spread the love a little.

Before launching {n}.bora, Peter worked with a...
