ABS Limited was formed in 2002 to provide a range of consultancy services to the aesthetic industry.
In particular, we have focussed on building a team dedicated to the provision of sales and marketing services, market sector information and website design and marketing skills relevant to the UK aesthetic market place.

Consultingroom.com Limited was formed in 2003 and the website, www.consultingroom.com was launched in May of that year. Our activities across different segments of the market have enabled us to promote and develop, what is now, the UKs largest aesthetic information website.

Our aim is to develop the site as an important source of referrals for quality providers offering their services to consumers, and ensure that it is the best independent information portal for consumers, the press and practitioners working in the UK aesthetic market place.
