About Magnetic & the Newton Group

Magnetic is the UK’s leading innovation and digital design studio. We work alongside startups, governments and organisations in the UK and internationally to create products, services and strategies, enabling transformation and growth. Our purpose is to design better futures, and we do this by helping people and businesses innovate. Over the last ten years our partners have included Waitrose, Essex and Dorset Councils, Bupa, Mars Wrigley, Innovate UK, Google, Fulham Football Club and Save The Children. 

In 2024, Magnetic was acquired by the Newton Group, which now includes three businesses. Alongside Magnetic, Xantura uses AI and analytics to help public services better support residents and communities. The third and largest organisation in the group is Newton Europe—a UK-based consultancy with 600 employees. Newton Europe partners with organisations across healthcare, government, retail, defence, and infrastructure, focusing on turning strategic goals into real-world outcomes. Often working behind the scenes, they play a key role in large-scale, multimillion-pound change and transformation programmes. All three businesses in the Newton Group share a commitment to delivering real impact and value.

​Most Magnetic consultants share a common base of skills. These include proposition design, customer research, business design, experimentation, change management, hustle, and the ability to make things happen. More senior people within the organisation bring skills around leadership, coaching, business development, and client empathy. 

​Our most senior consultants often have rich, long-term experience of consulting work across multiple sectors. Some have deep sector experience. They tend to have a large book of contacts, a commercial mindset and the ability to nurture and develop talent at every level. 

​​Some of us are specialists in fields like service design, customer research, foresight, programme management or behavioural science, others are generalists. However, all of our Consultants come up with innovative ideas, solve problems creatively and shape these into logical, coherent solutions that centre around our clients' needs. We synthesise data and insights into actionable recommendations, turning them into viable concepts and prototypes.

​We’ve hired lifetime consultants, people making career changes from industry specialism, and everything in between. We are committed to promoting a diverse and inclusive workplace - a place where we can all be ourselves. We offer a range of family-friendly, inclusive employment policies and flexible working arrangements.
