Breakthrough Consulting Services

A network of independent consultants is planning to offer its services to the pet industry, from March this year.

Breakthrough Consulting Services is a European-wide group of top management consultants from various sectors of the pet industry.

Based in Holland, Germany, France, Italy and Spain, the partners met a few weeks ago to finalise a plan which according to their spokesman Marcel Blok, began as an idea 5 years ago.

He said:

"Our backgrounds are diverse and complementary; some partners have run companies with a European responsibility, whereas others have an in-depth experience in veterinary oriented marketing with all the regulatory aspects attached. We all have a sound international experience and outlook."

"Before the end of this year we want to extend our network with a partner in the UK, Scandinavia and the USA. Japan and Eastern Europe being in the plans for next year."
