Bear it in mind that the vast majority of archaeological work in the UK does not involve a consultancy firm at all - units are directly appointed by developers.
Consultancies are most often involved in larger projects, and will mostly (not always) use medium-large contractor units. Where there are consultants involved, there will usually be a greater degree of quality control than on jobs without consultants (although, before anyone gets on their high horse, we know that there are bad consultants as well as good ones, just like there are bad units and bad curators).
