About Quorion

A Different Kind of Consultancy

Quorion is a boutique strategy consultancy built on a simple premise: the best strategic advice comes from people who have built, sold, and delivered in the sectors they advise.

We work at the intersection of strategy and execution — helping organisations navigate market entry, capture high-value contracts, transform supply chains, and build competitive advantage across the GCC, UK, EU, and North American markets.

When your consultant has designed spy planes, parachutes, and Aston Martins — they understand what it takes to deliver in high-stakes environments.
