Judges comments on awarding RTPI North West Small Planning Consultancy of the Year 2022.

“The range of work the consultancy undertakes is extremely varied, and their interaction with other professionals is exemplary. There was strong evidence of client satisfaction, and of commitment to supporting communities through the maze of professional jargon and technical complexity.

“We also saw strong commitment to educating the next generation of planners through links with the universities and the RTPI. It was very clear that its success is founded on strong teamwork, a culture that is supportive and inclusive, and real enthusiasm for the job of planning and place-making.”
