A Message from the Team

HN Consultants — 25th Anniversary

2001 2026

In 2026, our company, HN Consultants ApS, is celebrating its 25th anniversary. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our colleagues, clients, consultants, ex-consultants, and others who have collaborated with us during the last two and a half decades, through hundreds of assignments in Africa, Latin America, Asia, and Europe. We hope to continue to participate in joint processes of learning, data collection, and analysis over the coming years. We acknowledge that we are a small company and there are probably many things we can still improve on; however, during the anniversary, we focus mainly on the positive aspects, just as our consultants and ex-consultants have echoed in their experiences with us, and which can be observed on our anniversary page. Thank you!
