Who we are

We are a team of experienced, cross-disciplinary consultants bringing new perspectives and innovative solutions to all our projects

Directors

A&P’s directors are experienced in leading, delivering, and managing impactful place-based policies and strategies, environmental interventions, cultural initiatives and workspace across the country.

In addition to advising clients as consultants, we have led governance and operational change programmes from within local authorities and third sector organisations. This gives us a unique understanding of the complexities and competing interests—and of the wide-ranging opportunities—that come with delivering change in places.
