Discussion


Pathways was set up in 1998 by its Directors May Molteno and Jane Whitaker. With our team of highly skilled researchers and project workers we have the capacity to handle large scale and complex projects. At the same time we remain small enough to ensure that the Directors lead and deliver on every project, ensuring consistency and quality. In addition Pathways has a strong team of Associate Consultants who can bring added expertise where needed.
