Values that Drive Everything


Who we are

Most consultancies are competent but forgettable—we’ve seen it from both sides. For twenty years, the gap between promises and delivery has bothered us.

Talk to us

We first worked together eight years ago on a complex transformation programme.

That running complaint eventually became a question: what if we did it ourselves?

So we did

Amana (أمانة) means trust, reliability, and the fulfilment of a responsibility placed in our care. For us, it’s more than a name it reflects how we believe work should be done: with honesty, clarity, and doing the right thing at the right time.

We’re a founder-led practice where the people you meet stay accountable for results. Specialists are brought in only when they genuinely add value.

Richard & Waquas

“Achievement isn’t about avoiding challenges — it’s about embracing them to unlock your organisation’s true potential.’’

Waquas Anwar

Co-founder/ Senior Partner

Our Belief

This is our ‘mission’ — we just don’t call it that.

Organisations face moments where growth and risk collide. New markets, new regulations, a cyber incident, a programme that’s gone sideways. In those moments, you don’t need a deck. You need people who’ve been there, who understand the pressure, and who’ll work with you until it’s sorted.

That’s what we do. We make change work not just in theory, but in how your business operates, how your people behave, and what your results look like afterwards.

Our Legacy

This is our ‘mission’ — we just don’t call it that.

We want to be the firm people recommend when something important needs to change. Not the biggest. Not the loudest. The one that stayed, delivered, and left the organisation stronger than when we found it.

The things that matter

We call it as we see it.

No sugar-coating. No telling you what you want to hear. If something isn’t working, you’ll hear it from us first. Trust starts with honesty.

We’ve been there and done it.

Our founders have sat in your chair governed programmes, faced boards, managed regulators. We don’t advise from the sidelines. We’ve lived the pressure.

Leaders at the table.

Richard and Waqas lead every engagement personally. You deal with the founders, not a team of juniors. We’re invested in lasting value, not quick wins.

We build you up, then step back.

Our job is to leave your team stronger, more capable and more confident. If you still need us doing the same thing twelve months later, we haven’t done our job.
