About us
MH&A was founded in 2018 by Professor Matt Hamnett, who has worked at senior levels in central Government, corporate and social sector organisations. His focus on social impact, his love of really complex and challenging work, his pace and high expectations, define our firm.
Our work and experience
We’ve done a huge amount of work in the education sector, working with clients in central Government, the wider public and private sectors on national policy, organisational strategy, investment, innovation, transformation, service delivery and diversification.
We also do a great deal of work on economic development, working with national, regional and local Government clients to understand what places, communities and businesses need, and to design, mobilise and deliver initiatives that will directly impact social and economic indicators.
Our team’s expertise, experience and empathy mean that we are also often asked to support the design, mobilisation, delivery or assurance of major programmes – irrespective of their sector focus.
