about us

How Senate was founded

Senate Consulting (Senate Project Services Limited) was founded in 1992 by John Walsh, following a successful career in project management with a leading Tier 1 contractor. Having risen through the ranks and led the delivery of some of Londons most iconic buildings and landmarks, John identified a gap in the market where his expertise in navigating complex commercial and contractual challenges could provide significant value from six-figure projects to multi-billion-pound developments.

From the outset, Senate has supported organisations of all sizes with contract, commercial, and safety matters. Whether the appointment is large or small, our commitment remains the same: to provide expert guidance and support that leads to successful outcomes.

This principle continues to define our approach today.
