About Us

Frontier is an Economic Consultancy with a difference. From day one our goal was simple – to create a company that approached economics with imagination.

Founded in 1999, we are entirely employee owned so everyone contributes to the culture and success. Our Economists work on the most topical issues affecting business and society. As the world evolves around us, the problems we solve change constantly.

Our work is thought provoking, enables change and has a real world impact on major companies, regulatory bodies and public policy decisions. We help our clients make objective informed decisions that keep them ahead of the game.

All our interns and analysts are supported with their career and personal development through our exceptional training programs, learning resources, external networks and events, mentoring and buddy programs.

Frontier is an economics consultancy that tackles the big questions facing governments, businesses and society. We support our clients on some of the most interesting, topical and high-profile issues across these areas. We help our clients to analyse and understand their markets and to formulate strategies based on sound economics. The methods and models we use are often complex, but our advice is always succinct, clear and honest. We use our analysis to provide insight into complex situations, giving clients jargon-free opinions and results that can withstand even the closest scrutiny.

We advise across sectors and countries and we are one of the largest economic consultancies in Europe with more than 200 Economists based in our offices in Berlin, Brussels, Cologne, Dublin, London, Paris and Madrid. Owned entirely by our staff, our business attracts the best people and the most interesting work. We go beyond the numbers to find out what’s really going on. Our clients enjoy objective advice, clearly expressed. With our help, they make better decisions and get better results.
