Empowering Libraries, Preserving Heritage, Embracing Change.


We create evidence-based strategies for national bodies, local authorities, and independent institutions. From building new strategies to refreshing existing ones, we combine client needs analysis, best practice reviews, data insights, and stakeholder engagement to deliver clear roadmaps. Our work spans national frameworks, cross-partner collaborations, and service-specific plans.
Planning ahead? We’ve advised on everything from national library locations to multi-purpose hubs and local service relocations—always with feasibility and impact in mind.
Understanding your audience is key. We produce data-driven needs analyses to identify gaps, priorities, and target groups—vital for libraries, heritage, and cultural projects.
We assess current performance with evidence and practical insight, highlighting what works, what doesn’t, and how to improve.
Working with architects and designers, we create ergonomic, efficient layouts for new and existing cultural spaces.
We design staffing structures for new institutions and reconfigure existing ones, including role specs, pay recommendations, and skills audits for training plans.
We help you make sense of budgets—identifying future needs, funding limits, and opportunities for income generation.
Thinking of outsourcing? We evaluate feasibility, efficiency, and governance for third-party service delivery.
From surveys to focus groups, we design and run engagement programmes, then analyse results to uncover insights and guide decisions.
We develop practical, proportionate policies for new and existing facilities, plus clear staff and customer guidance.
Short on time? We craft compelling business cases and funding applications to support your goals.
