David Richardson – Director of Operations – Data Intellect
I collaborated with 1801 on a consultancy project, where they both showcased exceptional professionalism and innovation. Connor’s strategic insights and meticulous attention to business objectives greatly enhanced our efficiency, while Ryan’s dynamic execution and adaptability drove our project forward at pace. Together, they delivered outstanding results, exceeding expectations for our shared client with their creativity and commitment to excellence.

WE AREN’T YOUR ORDINARY CONSULTANCY
At 1801, we’re ‘people’ people before we’re consultants.
We prioritize building your team’s confidence and skills, empowering them to take ownership of the solutions we create together. For us, success means leaving your people with the ability to improve and innovate on processes they see as their own.
You’ll notice this difference from our very first conversation.

Meet the leaders who bring you disruptive engagement and put the “T” into transformation
Ryan Kelly
Co-Founder
Consulting found me after years
of in-house operational transformation. I’ve maintained that “in-house” desire to make businesses better as if I’m part of the team. I’m people first, process second—I’d rather be the sherpa on top of Everest taking your picture than bringing you back a rock and describing the view!
Connor Metcalf
Co-Founder
I’ve been passionate about improving people’s performance throughout my career in very hands-on roles. Driven by a desire to help bring necessary change to teams who aren’t able to get there alone, I co-founded 1801. I truly believe a happy team can achieve anything, and that we can have fun along the way.
