About

No layers. No handoffs.

Blocx Matrix is a founder-led firm, built to do something large consultancies are not structured to do: put a genuinely senior practitioner inside a client’s programme and keep them there. The person who wins the work is the person who does it.

Leadership

The hardest programmes. Led from within.

Portrait of Anthony Abana
Anthony AbanaChief Executive and Co-Founder

He is a senior executive in capital delivery and asset strategy, and has led programmes for global operators, national estates and government bodies across three continents. He has built delivery teams and divisions from nothing.

Clients bring him the programmes that are difficult: where cost has moved, where governance is under scrutiny, where a market is unfamiliar, or where a team has to be built while the work is already running. He leads a small number of engagements directly each year and sets the standard the firm delivers to on the rest.

The record

Twenty-five years of delivery. Behind every engagement.

Anthony’s record, built in senior roles at major property, workplace and public sector organisations and continuing through Blocx Matrix. It is the reason the firm exists, and it is what a client is engaging on every mandate.

Our values

What we stand for. Without exception.

Integrity

We say what we think will happen, including when it is unwelcome. Every commitment we make is one we expect to be held to.

Service

Service is not a department here. It is how the work is done, and it is why clients come back with the next programme rather than the same one.

Excellence

We define what success looks like at the outset and measure against it at the end. The result is the only evidence that counts.

Advisory board

Outside perspective. Honest challenge.

Specialists who bring perspective and challenge from beyond the firm.
