CONTEXT:
Since setting up his own consulting business in January 2017, the Founder, David Clamp has met many other independent advisors and consultants facing similar setup challenges, ongoing issues, workload peaks, troughs, etc. whilst delivering consultancy services to companies within the insurance industry. He was surprised at a) how much there is to learn and get right when starting out on your own and b) how he missed not being a part of a wider supportive network to plug into – with the many human benefits this gives.
CAMELOT:
A network of independent advisors and consultants was started in June 2018 with the aim to help each other out – as simple as that. We started with 15 members and are now at over 150! Typically, our members have “been there and done it” in C-Suite/Head of roles and have now decided to work independently. One of the reasons why Camelot has grown so quickly is that it is very much a human-oriented, values-based network (rather than the more corporate-like culture of rules and procedures).
WHY THE NAME?
As we are a collection of equals helping each other out, we really like the image and ethos of Arthur’s Round Table, so “Camelot” was chosen. As members, you get an equal seat at our virtual round table.
OUR VALUES:
-
The most important value we have is we help others first….as the world has a strange way of going around in circles! This has really underpinned the tremendous success and growth of Camelot
-
We can trust each other – as we are all equals sitting around the same virtual round table
-
We encourage active participation – you get out what you put in – it’s entirely your call, and we also fully understand that your other needs sometimes take priority – such as those of your clients and your personal life
-
We are independent, and objective and operate with full integrity
-
We value the contribution of all members, appreciating their wisdom, diverse experiences, and differing opinions
-
We recognise the great value that inclusion and diversity bring and strive to act on this and help influence others in this regard
-
We actively support the sustainability of our planet and seek to help influence others in this regard
