ORIGINS OF THE BRIDGE

After working on numerous tender processes responding to the New Zealand Government’s wellbeing and social procurement agenda, George Hulbert and Scott Jacobs decided to form The Bridge.

The Bridge is a market strategy and management consulting firm that helps businesses to:

Adapt to the global ESG agenda: including under the NZ Government's procurement framework
Align with it: and prove your organisation's alignment through action
Achieve more as a result: win more business and deliver better outcomes for all.

We help to accelerate and transform brands in the market through integrating ESG into your operations, brand and actions - internally with your people, and externally with your clients
