Meet the founder
Rock.Partners was founded in 2024 by seasoned strategist Rachel Vigers - but the journey to get here was a long one!
For 17 years, Rachel worked as a strategic consultant in agencies in London & Hong Kong, advising client of all shapes, sizes & sectors. For 10 of those, she was on the management team - helping to build the business as well deliver client strategies.
Alongside the 'day job', she also set up her own events business & co-founded a marine conservation charity. It was running these enterprises that first inspired her to venture out as an independent strategist, joining up business & brand for SMEs.
Fast forward a further10 years & Rock.Partners was born (finally!).
Never has SMEs' need for strategic support been greater. But, in the complex & confusing world that is the consultancy sector, never has it been so hard for SMEs to get the type of support they actually need.
With Rock, Rachel set out to change that - her "One Strategy. No Silos" approach complements joined up strategy with joined up delivery, across the whole business.
Let's Rock!

Rock attitude
Strategy is broken & Rock is out to fix it. No hesitation. No apologies.
Our ‘silo-free’ stance might defy mainstream models – but our rebellion is well reasoned.
In a world where reality loses out to complex models & outdated concepts, where buzzwords & sweeping statements take centre stage, where discipline specialists debate over who owns success, Rock’s joined-up, jargon-free approach stands out for its sheer simplicity & common sense.
If you’re looking for a better way of being more strategic, this is it.
Rock-solid
Our foundational approach is robust, relevant & realistic.
We join up strategy & delivery across the whole business, ditching siloed-thinking, departmental in-fighting & duplicated efforts in favour of clarity, confidence & cohesion.
We prioritise diversity of data sources over depth in one area, replacing rigidity, bias & missed opportunities with thinking that is both robust & relevant.
We work with where you’re at, leveraging your own skills & resources as best we can, upskilling where possible, outsourcing only where needed.
We'll help you to get stronger & stay that way.

Your Rock
We’re the rock you can rely on – at every stage of your business.
Some consultants drop a strategy & run but that's not how Rock rolls - we stick around to see it through. Our flexible business model is designed to accommodate client-needs over traditional consultancy agendas - meeting you where you're at, working with the resources you have available & plugging any gaps.
In the words of one of our clients, we “give the emotional investment of a co-founder without giving away equity”. We'll take that!
