We combine independent insight, data-driven benchmarking that reveals opportunities that others miss, and deep sector experience from Consultants that hold the most experience in the sectors we support.

our services

Transforming your food service operations

For more than 30 years, we’ve been helping organisations create catering experiences that truly deliver – operationally, financially, and for the people who use them every day.

From single outlets to full catering transformations, we turn insight into impact. Using data, benchmarking, and real-world expertise, we help you design, procure, and manage catering that performs—financially, operationally, and for your customers.

It’s where Litmus began, and it remains at the heart of what we do today.

our story

Cleaning is at the heart of every organisation

We believe that stable and efficient facilities-related services should be at the heart of every organisation.

Cleaning, in particular, plays a crucial role in creating safe, productive and welcoming spaces for staff, students and visitors alike.

As the facilities management landscape evolves toward long-term, collaborative partnerships, maintaining a high-performing, cost-effective cleaning service remains a challenge. That’s where we help—by analysing your current operations, benchmarking performance, and driving measurable, sustainable improvements. 

Whether your cleaning is managed in-house or outsourced, we ensure it delivers best value, efficiency, and transparency through expert support in performance monitoring, tender management, reviews and benchmarking, service design, and contract management—creating clean, well-run environments that promote productivity, wellbeing, and pride.

We also help plan for long-term improvement, ensuring environments remain safe, welcoming, and cost-effective to maintain.
