We analyse the barriers to local economic and help to identify actions to overcome these barriers. One of our strong points is contextualising the outcomes of consultation and research into clear and concise action plans that have relevance in the wider context of economic development strategies.
Project Development Services include:
- Needs analysis
- Option appraisal
- Business planning

We have successfully developed a number of economic development projects in the Lincolnshire area within the last years. For example we developed the Advance Rural Lincolnshire (ARL) project in consultation with local authorities in Lincolnshire. ARL is a business support programme aimed at boosting the rural economy of Lincolnshire’s 3 lagging districts of East Lindsey, West Lindsey and South Holland. Thanks to this project there is now a Business Adviser designated to each District area, a busy and successful events programme held in various locations across the County, and a subsidy award for qualifying SMEs.
We are involved in a number of forward strategy programmes in the areas of enterprise. Following the development of ARL we have been commissioned by the local authorities to look at business engagement strategies at local authority level and future support needs of the local business communities.
