Our consultancy practice began life in 2021 specialising in software testing, and since our incorporation as V1 Consulting in 2024 we have expanded into agile coaching and project & programme delivery management. Our name, V1, references the fact that we like to get things right first time. This approach helps to minimise rework, reduce unnecessary costs & overheads, and instil confidence from the very beginning – all to help you achieve success and stay one step ahead.
