About Us

Setup in 1988, Hall Aitken is a consultancy specialising in evidence-based practice, evaluation, communicating and helping embed learning. We have a particular understanding of approaches to engage the ‘hard-to-reach’.

We have offices in Glasgow, Manchester and London. Hall Aitken can offer you a total support package. We inform national and regional policy, shape delivery and demonstrate value for national and area-wide programmes that help excluded people and disadvantaged communities.

We support multi-agency partnerships and we help increase sustainable returns on investment.

We strive to do things that deliver above our clients expectations.
