SERVICES
We work throughout the UK with a wide variety of businesses and public sector organisations as well as advising individuals and families.
PUBLIC SECTOR
We work closely with over a hundred public sector organisations throughout the UK, and understand the particular issues they face.
The public sector is facing unprecedented challenges. In the climate of austerity it is under enormous pressures in terms of funding and sustainability. We have been working within the sector for many years and with over eighty specialists, have one of the biggest public sector teams in Scotland.
We’re acutely aware of the public accountability, the reputational risks, the political and media sensitivities and the overarching policy issues the sector faces. We have a strong focus on the sector and know how important it is to get it right and get it right first time. We’ve helped many clients effectively re-invent themselves for the future, where appropriate, drawing on our private sector experience to achieve this.
