Who We Are

WJA

William Jermyn & Associates (WJA) was founded in 1988 to provide strategic market research, and marketing and business planning consultancy services, to corporate and government clients. Specialist services were developed later in trade and investment promotion, and training and work experience programmes for youth.

While originating with the expertise and experience of the founder, Bill Jermyn, WJA has developed into a virtual consulting business, centred around the successful working relationships he has built with a number of marketing and management consultants, and technical experts, in Canada, the US, Europe, and South East Asia. From our office in Toronto, we operate with a small core of support staff, and a panel of senior, principal, and junior consulting associates. These resources are supplemented with freelance assistants, all of whom are integrated on customized project teams, aligned with the volume and specialty nature of the particular projects in hand.

We have consulted to European, US, Caribbean, South East Asian, and Canadian clients on a wide range of projects involving combinations of the services described in this outline.
