Rob founded Assent in 2002, starting as a small IT and web design business before transitioning into management consultancy. Passionate about international standards, he believes they are essential for creating a unified global work environment. As a Lead Auditor for ISO 27001 and a BCS Professional Member (MBCS), Rob plays a pivotal role as one of the company’s main consultants.

Assent began as a family-run business with a “work to live, not live to work” ethos, which has remained a core value from management through to every level of staff. Initially focused on IT and web design, Rob adapted the business as the industry shifted, embracing compliance and ISO standards to stay ahead of the curve.

Rob takes great pride in his team, trusting them to handle any project and deliver exceptional results. His drive for growth and innovation has fostered a resilient company culture that maintains the spirit of a startup, always ready to take on new challenges.
