HSSMI Recognised Among the UK’s Leading Management Consultants 2026 by the Financial Times & Statista
London, UK – 5th February 2026 – HSSMI is proud to announce its inclusion in the Financial Times & Statista UK’s Leading Management Consultants 2026 rankings, recognised in the Automotive category. The accolade is based on independent nominations from clients and peer recommendations, underscoring HSSMI’s growing impact and reputation within the UK consulting landscape.
Now in its ninth year, the Financial Times and Statista ranking is widely regarded as one of the most robust assessments of the UK management consulting market. The 2026 edition drew on thousands of survey responses from consultants, senior executives and clients, generating over 800 ratings across 169 consulting firms spanning 16 industry sectors and 15 functional service areas. Firms are selected and ranked based on the volume and strength of positive recommendations, with a particular emphasis on client endorsement.
HSSMI’s recognition in the Automotive category places the firm alongside some of the world’s largest and most established consultancies, including McKinsey & Company, EY, Roland Berger and IBM Consulting. This peer grouping reflects the level at which HSSMI is now operating and the tangible impact it is delivering across the automotive and wider manufacturing ecosystem, despite being a specialist consultancy with a highly focused mission.
Axel Bindel, Executive Director of HSSMI, said:
“We’re incredibly proud to be recognised as one of the UK’s leading management consultancies in the automotive sector, particularly through a ranking that is driven by our clients’ voices. To be listed alongside global firms such as McKinsey, EY, Roland Berger and IBM Consulting is a powerful signal of the level of work we are delivering and the trust industry places in us. This recognition marks an important milestone in HSSMI’s evolution and reinforces our ambition to continue driving meaningful, system-level impact across the automotive industry and beyond.”
The recognition highlights HSSMI’s continued progress as a trusted partner to industry, supporting organisations through transformation, productivity improvement and the transition to a more competitive and sustainable future.
