Unlike other consulting firms, we want to be more than just an advisor; we want to be a trusted partner. True partners work together, leveraging the best in each other to achieve results that far exceed project expectations. 

Because we are owners, we have a personal stake, some “skin in the game”. The phrase, “Your success is our success” isn’t just some trite expression we throw around lightly; it’s our livelihood, it’s what informs our work ethic and it’s what we stake our reputation on. Partnership is the very essence of Dillon. 

Our Mission is to counsel and guide our clients wisely and with integrity towards the successful application of science, technology and management in their businesses.

The vision we aspire to is not about us, it’s about our clients. While others pursue growth and profit as their goals, we pursue success for our clients, for it is our firm belief that if we achieve those, our success will follow. 

Our vision is to be recognized by Dillon's key stakeholders - our owners, employees, and clients - as a leader in our industry at corporate sustainability and by practicing what we preach.

Much consideration has been given at Dillon to our purpose as a business – why we do what we do. We have thought long and hard about what success means to us, and how we should measure it.

Dillon has a long and proud history. From our beginnings in London, Ontario during the post-war period the firm has grown and evolved into a major professional consulting organization. What makes our history special is what it means to our current clients - enduring values, clarity of purpose and a vision to aspire to the legacy of our founders.

Our “founding fathers,” Marmaduke Murray Dillon and George Humphries, served as officers during World War II. When they returned to Canada, they were introduced to each other by a former commanding officer who had shared an office in London, Ontario with Murray before the war. Murray and George agreed, over lunch just before Christmas, to form a consulting practice, which was launched in the basement of a house in London in January 1946. With a draftsman, a part-time stenographer/bookkeeper, boundless enthusiasm and unbridled optimism, M.M. Dillon was formed.

Over 60 years of professional practice have taught us the importance of partnership in sustaining long-lasting, mutually beneficial relationships with our key clients. Partnership is the very essence of Dillon which is why we have always strived to be more than just an advisor, we strive to be your trusted partner.

The people at Dillon have a deep desire to help and guide our clients in ways that will make them successful. We do that through what we know best – the application of science, technology and management to our clients’ opportunities and needs. And we strive to do it with the utmost integrity, guided by our duty to our clients, our communities and ourselves. 

Success to us means that the best organizations put us at the top of their list of consultants they want to work with. We recognize that financial success only occurs when we add significant value to our clients’ businesses. So our vision of success is that the clients we serve will respect us, enjoy working with us and view us as trusted partners in their success.
