About Us

Volterra Consulting was established in 1998 by Paul Ormerod and Bridget Rosewell. They are both economists with long experience of business who, having sold previous companies, found themselves with a shared view on how economic analysis needed to move forward.

 

They were concerned that too much analysis supplied to clients in both the public and private sectors was based on assumptions which ignored the importance of time and space constraints in generating recommendations. Solutions were found which could not in practice be achieved.

 

Volterra aims to provide novel solutions to business problems and frequently presents a different way of looking at the future. We believe that risk based analysis is more helpful than traditional forecasting models, where the results are not very reliable.

 

To deliver these new methods of analysis and prediction, we employ a wide range of skills, with mathematicians and statisticians as well as economists. In addressing any problem, we pay close attention to the key parameters and drivers of a problem. Only by making a clear analysis of this and by fully considering the feedbacks in any model is it possible to identify the right analytical approach to its solution.
