Our story

A partnership 50 years in the making

From humble roots planted deep in the west country, to a B Corp Certified, Queen’s Award winning, multi-disciplinary consultancy with global reach; our journey is one of sustainable organic growth, custodianship and making impact. Today, with over 170 professionals in seven UK offices, our journey continues to build on our proud heritage and the legacy of our founding partners.

Mission

Our unwavering mission is to be a leading professional built-environment consultancy, delivering meticulous, ethical and innovative advice based on sustainable principles. By aligning our mission to our Partnership Model, we deliver enduring and impactful solutions for people, places and the planet.

Custodianship

For us, the ultimate goal of custodianship is to leave our partnership in a better position than when we became part of it, which means not only driving organic growth and fostering innovation, but also focusing on the partnership’s ethical and sustainable practices.

By respecting our legacy, focusing on long-term goals, collaborating with our people and clients, adapting to change, and leaving a positive impact, we will ensure the partnership remains strong and vibrant for future generations.

Values

Impact is our ability to curate or influence meaningful and enduring change. It demands that we challenge expectations and drive progress, leading to solutions that deliver projects of considered and lasting worth.

Imagination means proposing innovative solutions and approaches, driving creativity and problem-solving, fostering adaptability, and delivering thinking beyond conventional boundaries for the benefit of the projects we deliver.

Authenticity means holding ourselves steadfastly accountable and true to what is in the best interests of our clients and their projects. By being genuine and expressing radical honesty, without fear of judgement, we foster trust, integrity and a culture of openness thereby enhancing relationships, teamwork and more effective delivery.

Delivery

We deliver impactful solutions through our consultancy and associated specialist services of Consult, Construct and Innovate. Consult encompasses our core professional services. Construct is the delivery of Construction Management and associated services. Innovate is the expression and execution of our future thinking.

Built differently.

Our Partnership Model embodies a framework for delivery and making an impact. From custodianship, which binds our core and every aspect of what we are and represent, to the values underpinning our relationships, interactions and approach to the outcomes we aim to create. These foundational principles drive all aspects of our partnership, with the ultimate purpose being a positive impact for people, places and planet.
