Consultation matters.

Through true consultation we create space for ideas, knowledge and inspiration, where city shapers, culture creators, and place makers can connect with the communities in which they operate.

Yet common consultation methods are rarely tailored to the project and its community. Tired and non-inclusive tactics cannot hope to create means to hear the voices of local people – whose experiences and ideas are so important when designing and planning new development.

 Building trust and inviting positive dialogue requires care, experience, creativity and originality. Jennifer, a communications and community engagement consultant specialising in the built environment, brings fresh thinking, new ideas, and a tailored approach to each engagement opportunity. She establishes and nurtures stakeholder relationships, so that developers and designers can create more successful places capable of generating lasting social impact.
