Rule Financial is on course to smash its 2007
target by taking turnover past the £18m mark, 
as the company’s growth rate soars in excess of
80%, it was announced recently.

At Rule’s regular half-yearly evening meeting hosted in the elegant surroundings of the National Liberal Club at 1, Whitehall Place, CEO and founder Marcus Rule presented figures confirming that the company has added 42 new permanent staff in the last six months alone, thanks to buoyant City trading and increasing recognition of Rule Financial’s ability to service the needs of its blue chip client portfolio.

“Despite the occasional readjustment, business is generally booming in the Square Mile, which gives us the chance to show just how good we are.” explained Marcus. “We’ve got the best people on board, and we’re adding more of them each month. The only barrier to further growth is finding people of the right quality.”

Following the opening presentation, Management Consultant Rachel Andrew from Rule’s Technical Consulting division, spoke on how the company is seeking to position itself as the “Employer of Choice” among the higher echelons of banking consultancy.  She emphasised that a definition of success was when the best clients wanted you to work for them, and the best brains wanted to work for you. Rachel also spoke about the company’s growing contingent of Russian consultants, many now with families in the UK, who constitute Rule’s “Russian Club” (See news story)

Other presentations were given by Head of Business Consulting Dr. Michael Gordon, who summed up his first 100 days at Rule with  a “6P” mnemonic covering People, Processes, Propositions, Promotion, Performance and Predictions, and a Rule Green Team of David Little and Zoë Condon who outlined plans to achieve Carbon Neutrality by 2008, to the booming strains of Richard Strauss’ Also Sprach Zarathustra, the theme from 2001: A Space Odyssey.  Heady stuff.
