Uncommon Solutions Limited was formed in 2004 by Hugh and Louise Alexander and is made up of several different divisions. These are principally training and management consultancy (chiefly risk management and also insurance), but also include property development, innovative products and the creative arts.

So, as the name implies, there is a lot of diversity within the company, but the common threads which run through all divisions are a strong emphasis on quality and an innovative approach to the fulfilment of clients’ needs. The organisational structure is light and flexible, making use of colleagues, partner organisations and other specialists in a spirit of pragmatism, to achieve the intended goals. However, Hugh Alexander still provides most of the training and consulting services personally and either Hugh or Louise carefully oversees all projects taken on by Uncommon Solutions.
