Management consultancy that works…
My business works with teams spanning all levels from shop floor to boardroom. I restrict the number of clients I work with at any one time to ensure that I can devote the time and attention to each client that is sometimes missing if you work with larger Management Consultancy companies. County Management was formed in 1983 and works extensively throughout the UK and Cyprus, offering both individual and seminar driven advice.
Working from an initial free consultation I move onto psychometric testing via the Myers Briggs personality assessment at Step I and Step II levels (MBTI). Tests are conducted via email and feedback can be given remotely using VoIP technology, making this a practical and cost effective way of receiving a professional personality assessment wherever you are in the world and saving the client valuable time and resources.
County Management adopts a “workshop driven”
approach rather than a “management directed” approach, ensuring that decisions for change come from those who will implement the changes – the most successful route to performance improvement. This ensures that participants “take ownership” of any decisions made and never feel that these decisions have been forced on them. Management form part of the team and play an active role in determining priorities and releasing resources.My specialist in-house business improvement and team development programmes allow participants to voice their true feelings about their roles and working environment, which are then de-personalised to form a starting point for change.
From there, improvements can be developed and maintained by means of either individual or group mentoring using my extensive coaching and team development skills. The key to successful change is to match what people can do and want to do to what the business needs them to do.

Psychometrics to mentoring
I'm Paul Thomas and I work to improve business performance by inspiring people to exceed their own expectations, whether they work in the boardroom or at shop floor level.
County Management Consultants Ltd offers psychometric testing, personality profiling, individual mentoring, group mentoring, coaching and team development. I started as an apprentice and worked up to become a director in both engineering and financial services. My first hand experience of a number of sectors as an employee and as a consultant gives me an in-depth understanding of many of the problems encountered in the corporate world. Based on my experiences at both ends of the employment heirarchy, I am particularly adept at bringing together the aspirations of operators and their managers, ensuring that their joint efforts are focussed on the success of the business.
Early in my career I developed an interest in answering the question
The County Method
Paul starts by getting operators and managers to express their real feelings about their jobs and the environment within which they are working. Their statements, depersonalised to remove any worries they might have about ‘career limiting views’, are used as the starting point for a workshop where they develop action plans to address the problems as they see them.
The key is that it is ‘workshop driven’ not ‘management directed’. The outcome is that the participants own the action plans and take great pride in the results their actions achieve.
Feedback and Testimonials
“Paul was a major contributor to the Business Re-engineering that took place at Scott Bader, really helping to facilitate the process, with very clear and objective advice.”
Paul Thacker, Scott Bader
“Working with Paul is a delight! The heart of his expertise lies in understanding how human interactions work, and helping clients to leverage their strengths to improve/address their (and other peoples') weaknesses. Interactions and workshops with Paul are not only enjoyable but also deliver solid long-lasting benefits.”
Martin Hollis, Managing Director, Research Insight
I have used Paul Thomas as an effective catalyst for the change programmes I have managed in Mott MacDonald. I have found Paul very effective indeed, particularly at dealing with senior managers. Certainly have a discussion with Paul.
Richard Williams, Mott MacDonald
Paul’s workshop has been a wake up call to all participants. In the turmoil of the day to day work in a mining operation, we sometimes forget that innovation and change is what can take our project to another millennium of operation and success and it is what has kept it alive up to now.
