About Us

Skillful Limited is a specialist provider of consultancy, technical advice and training in the fields of regulatory practice, investigations, intelligence, business analysis and risk management.

Our catch-cry is "Insight for Action" – providing our clients with the capability to develop the understanding required for effective decision making.

For over 20 years’ Skillful's team has delivered comprehensive solutions to government and corporate clients internationally.  We changed our name in 2019 - you might know us by our previous name, Intelligence Solutions.

We help you to develop ‘insight’ into the issues affecting your business capability then turn that insight into ‘action’, working with you to build capability and optimise operational effectiveness.
While Skillful is a commercial enterprise and we believe that our services deserve appropriate compensation, our operating philosophy is about more than making money.

We genuinely want to assist you and your staff to achieve sustainable improvements in your business practices and outcomes.

We believe in making our services directly relevant to you, in your environment and connected to the issues you grapple with on a daily basis.

We don't believe that there is only one way of doing things, or that "our way" is the only right way.

Our approach is to provide you with the benefit of our broad experience so that you can apply and adapt the theories and principles of good practice models to the reality of your business needs, culture and goals.

We believe that making a difference for you is more important than making a dollar for us!

We are so focused on ensuring that you get the best advice, support and training that we give you this commitment - if we don't believe your needs fit within our expertise and capability we will tell you so, then direct you to a more appropriate provider.
Skillful is led by our founder and director, Mark Boyce.

Mark founded the company in 2000 as Intelligence Solutions before renaming to Skillful in 2019.

Our team is drawn from and supplemented by our network of experienced regulatory, investigations, intelligence, business and risk management professionals.

All our advisors have worked in sensitive and secure roles where trust, discretion and professionalism are both mandatory and vital to achieving the desired outcomes.

We bring that same commitment, professionalism and integrity to your issues and the information you share with us.
