Maitland Consulting Group - Our Story
Maitland Consulting Group was established in 1994 to address a clear market need: organisations were struggling to identify and engage the right consulting expertise, while many skilled consultants either lacked the time or resources to market themselves effectively.
Our founders, Shelley and Ruth, brought together deep experience in organisational psychology and large-scale project delivery. They recognised the opportunity to create a trusted link between organisations seeking results and consultants capable of delivering them.
Since then, based in Perth, Western Australia Maitland has grown into a highly regarded and nationally respected firm working throughout Australia. It partners with some of Australia’s largest companies, as well as federal, state, and local government agencies. We remain committed to delivering exceptional outcomes by connecting the right people with the right challenges.
