About Us

EWH Consulting is a specialist Project Management and Quantity Surveying practice delivering commercially focused construction consultancy services across the leisure, hospitality and Quick Service Restaurant sectors.

We support clients throughout the full project lifecycle — from feasibility, cost planning and procurement strategy through to contract administration, delivery and final account — ensuring clarity, control and confidence at every stage.

Our experience covers national rollout programmes, refurbishments, extensions and new-build developments, often within live trading environments. We understand the operational pressures our clients face and tailor delivery strategies to minimise disruption while maintaining programme certainty and financial control.

By combining robust commercial management with practical construction knowledge, we identify risk early, manage change effectively, and provide proactive advice that protects both investment and design intent.

We work collaboratively with client teams, designers, contractors and stakeholders, integrating seamlessly to deliver efficient, well-managed projects that meet brand, operational and financial objectives.

Industry Experience & Expertise
Our team brings together combined experience of over 50 years within project delivery and commercial management across the hospitality, licensed trade and accommodation sectors. We have successfully delivered projects ranging in value from £5,000 to £10 million, providing the same level of diligence and professionalism regardless of scale.

National Coverage
EWH Consulting has built a strong reputation across the UK, working nationally to support clients with diverse property portfolios. Our experience includes pubs, bars, restaurants, hotels, student accommodation and domestic accommodation schemes.

Our Approach
We pride ourselves on building long-term client relationships founded on trust, transparency and performance. Our role is not only to manage cost and programme, but to act as a dependable partner — ensuring projects are delivered efficiently, safely and to the highest standards.

Founder – Rod Jefferson
EWH Consulting was founded by Rod Jefferson, whose extensive experience in commercial management and project delivery within the hospitality and leisure sectors shaped the company’s practical and client-focused ethos. His hands-on industry knowledge guided our approach — providing pragmatic advice, fostering trusted relationships, and ensuring projects were delivered with professionalism and integrity.

Rod has now retired from the business, leaving behind a strong foundation, clear values, and a reputation for quality that continue to underpin everything we do at EWH Consulting.

The Team
Today, EWH Consulting is led by Steve Tomkinson, Mike Smith, and Chris Wilson. Together, they bring a broad range of experience and a shared commitment to maintaining the high standards established by the company’s founder.

The business continues to be run with the same professional, client-first approach — focused on clear communication, practical solutions, and building long-term relationships. Clients can be confident they are working with a team dedicated to delivering consistent, reliable outcomes with integrity at the core of every project.
