In any project, a ‘licence to operate’ is essential if time and resources are to be maximised: it is a business essential.  Successful community relations, appropriate to the task at hand, is essential to this.

With a decade’s experience at the heart of community relations at the UK’s biggest infrastructure project, we can advise any organisation on how to conduct this effectively and efficiently.  We can offer a unique and bespoke service for businesses small or large, based in central southern England but able to work all over the UK.

Our services include:-

• Hands-on community relations work in support of a project, working with a project team
• Training for professionals with community relations responsibility or aspiring community relations practitioners
• Research input into the likely degree of difficulty of a particular project
• Advising on how to maximise the social value of work to deliver optimum community benefits, maximising the ‘win-win’ and meeting requirements under the Social Value Act
• Providing accredited facilitators to consult communities, engage with the hard-to-reach and with particular emphasis on diversity and equality
• Strategic advice for companies wishing to review their procedures and processes to ensure they follow best practice.

The range of services can be tailored to your specific needs.

Any business undertaking sensitive projects with an impact on local communities needs the ability to deal with issues and leave a positive impression on those affected.  The skills and expertise we provide can decrease project risk, eliminate sources of delay and ultimately save money, as well enhancing corporate reputation.  For a discussion about how we can work together, please contact us today.
