About us

Apricot Consulting was setup in 2015 to share the significant experience that its founder had in HR and L&D. Nowadays, Apricot is a firm that is based around individuals with great depth of experience and notable successes in their fields.

We have roots in designing and delivering training courses as well as consulting services that have been proven to increase firms’ and individuals’ effectiveness and performance. Our main principal from the early stages is that Apricot’s services must deliver results that would not have been achieved within the prospect by itself.

Apricot’s values are

  • We are committed to provide quality in everything we do
  • We are honest and fair to our customers and partners
  • We communicate openly with all stakeholders
  • We always deliver what it is promised
  • We see and treat our employees and external subcontractors as valued partners
