Our services
TOWN CENTRE ACTIVATION
RETAIL & MARKETS CONSULTANCY
COMMERCIAL & OPERATIONS
We work on projects that activate high streets, supporting seasonal events, while work is underway or extending opening hours into the evening. These projects can also bring buildings back into use; create pop-up opportunities or establish the need for a business forum, a BID or co-ordinated place marketing.
Our extensive market experience covers indoor and street markets. We run consultations, create strategies, and review operations and policies, helping set up markets and managing them so they flourish. We also review public spaces to identify existing and future spaces for markets and events.
Pre-design and build stage, we develop options, test feasibility, and devise a model that will work for local authorities, businesses and property owners. This applies to market halls, empty retail units and historic building which have the potential to be repurposed or adapted post refurbishment.

With strong marketing expertise in the team, we develop place campaigns and content to support events and markets; review messaging and online content platforms. We also create marketing and comms plans to support local authority teams or advice on the best approach when resources are limited.
