About Elixirr



Elixirr International plc is a global consulting firm with a bold ambition: to become the best consulting firm in the world.

With a presence across the UK, US, EU, and South Africa, and a client base spanning industries and geographies, we've welcomed seven boutique firms into the Group. This has broadened our capabilities across creative, digital marketing, data and AI, procurement, transformation, and more.
