Extensive experience of appointing leaders who transform the fabric of local communities and economies.

Regeneration, Place & Social Housing

We understand that what makes a place is more than just buildings and that a range of economic, housing, physical, cultural, and social factors define a place and enable its ongoing evolution. With offices across the UK, and with strong, well developed and current local client networks we also truly understand how our major city and regional economies work, how the public and private sectors integrate and the factors that make them successful.

We are able to access networks, insight and candidates from a range of sectors. Recent assignments have seen us combining for instance social housing and regeneration, investment promotion with culture and leisure and economic development with Higher Education.
