duplications in our consultancy (services/work/business)
Explanation:
'Consultancy' looks a little isolated without a follow-up noun. However, you have 'services' (and 'administration') in rapid pursuit.
...unnecessary duplications in our consultancy work, our services and our administration can be avoided...
(3x 'our' to make it clear that 'consultancy' applies only to the first of these three nouns)
