Esprit Associates Global Offices
Esprit is an association of independent consultants who work from local offices or from home in various regions around the world.
We try to minimise our environmental impact by making full use of modern communication systems, such as teleconferencing and webinars, but inevitably face-to-face meetings are necessary for project intitalisation or finalisation. In these cases we try to use consultants, with the appropriate experience, who are based as close to the client as possible.
