Italian consulting firm Bestmind expands in UK through IRIS partnership

Italian consulting firm Bestmind has signed a strategic partnership agreement with UK-based based IRIS Consulting Services.

The collaboration will see the two consulting firms work together on projects in the infrastructure, construction and real estate sectors across the United Kingdom and Nordic Regions.

Bestmind is an Italian-headquartered consulting business with multiple offices. The company specialises in the delivery of projects in the built environment, and is involved in all stages of the project lifecycle.

IRIS Consulting Services is a boutique firm with a team of senior professionals that manages major and complex construction programmes. The London-based firm has since its inception in 2022 delivered projects across the UK and Europe.

As part of the partnership, the CEO of IRIS Consulting Services, Simon O’Connor, will assume the role of CEO for Bestmind in the UK.

Wilmer Berton, Founder of Bestmind commented: “With a shared commitment to excellence and innovation, this partnership will enable us to extend our expertise and impact not just within the UK, but across the entire Western Europe region. Our two companies will nurture a sustainable strategic partnership, and ultimately grow and achieve greater results together.”

Formerly known as GDP Italia, Bestmind works for real estate developers, property managers, general contractors, and government institutions. A few months ago, the firm launched a new office in Trieste.
