Often these stakeholders are public sector agencies who assist us with funding projects or parts of projects. In other instances they are community groups that we work with on large-scale regeneration projects.

Some may see this as one way of interpreting the call for a ‘big society’, if it is then it’s the way we’ve been working over the last decade and we think it represents a progressive way forward.

As the competition for public sector funding becomes more intense we think that our experience will serve us well to deal with opportunities in the future.
