Adam Simmons & Associates Ltd (AS&A) was founded in 2003 in response to a gap in the market for transport consultancy services. Traditionally, quantitative consultancy work in the transport sector has mainly been the preserve of engineering-based consultancies whereas qualitative and financial analysis has  been offered by management and strategy consultancies.

AS&A bridges this divide by examining the quantitative impacts of issues such as marketing decisions and the effect on the bottom line of improving customer satisfaction.

AS&A focuses on seven areas:

 
  • reliability and performance
  • financial analysis
 
  • statistical analysis
  • operational research
 
  • business modelling

 
  • forecasting
  • marketing

For details of AS&A’s work in these areas, please explore them using the menu above. The structure for each skill page is an introduction to the skill followed by, in most cases, a case study and a document for download.

The principal of AS&A, Adam Simmons, holds degrees in economics and statistics, transport management and an MBA from Warwick University, where he also tutors on the Distance Learning MBA programme in Modelling and Analysis for Management as well as International Business.
