Elemental was established in 2011 to offer specialist corporate services, addressing a gap in the UK market for a provider that could bring together select functions of large professional services firms and deliver them in a more efficient, personalised way.

The Chartered Governance Institute named us Service Provider of the Year in 2021, 2022 and 2025, the only firm to have won this award multiple times. We carry out premium work not often expected of a firm our size, giving you exposure to clients and their boards you would not typically see elsewhere.

In 2026, Elemental became part of Cogency Global, expanding its resources and global reach.
