Abstract:

The article deals with the effects of the global economic recession on the performance of consultants in Great Britain in 2009. It mentions that despite the decreased revenues that they have experienced, they manage to reduce the costs of their business operation to remain profitable. The author states that the buoyancy in infrastructure as well as transport consulting offsets the declining economic trend in the property, energy and environment sectors.
