At Pocketknife Group (PKG), we are more than just a consultancy; we are architects of better work.
We tell you what you need to hear—even when it’s uncomfortable. We admit when we don’t know and when things didn’t work.
We do it the right way. We stand by our work. The work has to be sound — researched properly, tested, built to hold up.
We challenge what isn’t working and celebrate what is. Innovation requires being willing to feel uncomfortable.
Beyond our work on fatality prevention, mental health and wellbeing, we contribute to environmental projects and industry.
