About us

Two partners. One standard of excellence.

Purnea Consultancy was founded on a simple belief: established businesses deserve senior, independent advice that is rigorous, practical and focused on results.

The name
Purcell+Neale=Purnea

Our name brings together the first letters of our founders’ surnames, Millie Purcell and Bruce Neale. It reflects the partnership at the heart of the firm: two complementary sets of experience, combined to give clients a complete view of their business.

Co-Founder & Partner

Bruce Neale

He brings a practitioner’s understanding of what it takes to make change stick on the ground. Bruce writes about operations, leadership, organizational design and market expansion.

“Good advice should leave a business stronger long after we’ve gone. That’s the standard we hold ourselves to on every engagement.”
