We are proud of our track record in delivering successful outcomes for clients across various sectors. For example:

- In 2018 we worked on behalf of Redrow Homes on a major residential development project in Bristol which had faced significant opposition from local residents concerned about traffic congestion and loss of green space. Through careful stakeholder engagement and communication planning we were able to secure planning permission for the project.

- In 2019 we supported NHS Property Services on their consultation process regarding proposed changes to healthcare facilities across England which involved engaging with over 1000 stakeholders including patients groups , clinicians , MPs etc . The feedback received helped shape future service provision.
