About

Established in 2004

A good proportion of our core business is providing gateway and independent project reviews; over the last 15 years the company’s Directors have delivered over 100 reviews for 15 separate organisations including the Scottish Government, Welsh Assembly, Highland Council, Highlands and islands Enterprise, Transport Scotland and many other public agencies.

We pride ourselves on providing professional, supportive, direct and concise services. We are a small company with only 2 employees and a cadre of like-minded associates that we can draft in as required, with complementary skills. Our size enables us to deliver very cost effective support, flexibility, responsiveness and a solution to suit your model…not ours !
