# Raphael Consulting Limited
Raphael Consulting is a boutique advisory firm founded in 2008 by David Mencer, delivering strategic counsel to senior figures across politics, business and the charity sector. Based in London, the firm specialises in high-stakes communications, public affairs and relationship-building where personalised expertise and political acumen are essential.
The firm serves ambitious organisations and individuals requiring bespoke guidance on government relations, corporate partnerships and fundraising strategy. Clients typically operate in sectors where political context, stakeholder relationships and reputation management are commercially critical.
What distinguishes Raphael Consulting is its deliberate rejection of conventional agency structures. Rather than formulaic approaches, David Mencer functions as an embedded strategic partner, working directly alongside client teams to embed sustainable capabilities. His methodology prioritises achieving agreed outcomes efficiently, drawing on 18 years of direct experience supporting prominent political and business leaders.
The firm's approach emphasises personal relationships grounded in integrity and commercial reality. This philosophy translates into practical results: David has demonstrated proven success in attracting partnerships, navigating complex stakeholder landscapes and building broad coalitions of support. Clients benefit from extensive parliamentary contacts, business networks and charity sector relationships that would take years to develop independently.
Raphael Consulting operates as a selective practice, prioritising depth of engagement over client volume. This positioning allows David to provide the objective, informed perspective that senior-level clients require when navigating sensitive strategic challenges in policy, partnerships and communications.
