About Process Evolution

Process Evolution works with police services throughout the UK, and has previously helped emergency services across the world to optimise resource use and respond in the most effective and efficient way. Our work ranges from response optimisation, workforce profiling and planning, and improving service delivery time in control rooms and across other policing functions.

Our Staff

Partnered with the company ORH, we place great emphasis on developing the skills of our employees through exposure to interesting projects that have a real-life impact. We pride ourselves on our approachability and strongly value the different skillsets of our staff.

Merging with ORH

Our most recent milestone is our merger with another consultancy, Operational Research in Health Limited (ORH). Based in Reading, ORH helps public services around the world and has a multi-continental client base. With our staff working across both consultancies, the cross-sector skills will provide a variety of new approaches, solutions and exciting methodologies, and we’re excited to be the policing arm of this new joint venture.
