Tilt Consulting Limited and SJ Bartlett Limited Announce Strategic Merger to Create a Leading Rail Industry Consultancy

Tilt Consulting Limited and SJ Bartlett Limited are pleased to announce their merger, bringing together two respected and high-performing businesses to form a new, integrated consultancy that will offer even greater value to clients across the rail industry. 

The newly combined company will operate under the Tilt Consulting brand, expanding its capabilities, resources, and national reach. With complementary strengths, a shared commitment to excellence, and deep expertise across strategy, delivery, and innovation, the merger positions the business for continued growth and enhanced service to our UK and global clients.

 “This is a hugely exciting moment for both organisations,” said Chris Beavis, Managing Director of Tilt Consulting. “By merging with SJ Bartlett Ltd., we’re combining exceptional talent to our existing railway integration expertise and complementing existing services with Safety and Systems Assurance services. Our clients will benefit from broader expertise, a wider service offering, and the same trusted relationships they’ve come to rely on.”

 SJ Bartlett Ltd., known for its specialist safety assurance and engineering capabilities and long-standing client partnerships, brings a highly experienced team and portfolio that aligns seamlessly with Tilt Consulting’s values and strategic direction.

 “We’ve always admired Tilt Consulting’s reputation for high-quality delivery and client focus,” said Stephen Bartlett, Managing Director of SJ Bartlett Ltd. “This merger allows us to build something even stronger together – a company that not only supports the rail industry’s most critical challenges but also fosters a fantastic place to work for our people.”

 The merged business will focus on delivering strategic, technical, and operational consultancy services to government bodies, infrastructure owners, operators, and supply chain organisations. With an expanded leadership team and a shared ambition for innovation and impact, the company is set to play a significant role in shaping the future of rail in the UK.
