About Us
Operators who became advisers
Richgate Consulting was built by people who have run plants, managed supply chains and sat on boards across East Africa — and who got tired of advice that could not be implemented.
Who we are
A firm with a bias for the floor
We are a strategic, management and operations consultancy serving organisations across East Africa. Our practice leads have spent their careers inside manufacturing plants, distribution networks and boardrooms in this region.
- Independent, regionally owned and regionally staffed
- Senior people on the engagement, not just at the pitch
- Work sized to your organisation, not to a billing model
- Comfortable in a factory, a warehouse and a board meeting

Where we live and work
Our values
How we behave on an engagement
These are the four things our clients hold us to.
Regional, not remote
We work where our clients operate.
Evidence over opinion
Findings are backed by data you can check.
Candour
We say the difficult thing early.
Capability transfer
Your team leaves stronger than we found it.
Our region
East Africa is not one market, and we treat it that way
Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda and Ethiopia differ in regulation, labour practice, infrastructure and customer behaviour. Our teams work across these differences rather than averaging them away.
- Cross-border corridor and customs fluency
- Local labour and regulatory context built into designs
- Networks of regional specialists we can bring in
Our method
Diagnose → Design → Deliver
Every engagement follows the same disciplined path.
Diagnose
Evidence before opinion. We find the real constraint.
Design
Solutions built for your people, market and margins.
Deliver
We stay until results hold without us.
Let's build something that lasts.
