Envision provides advice and support in the fields of planning, regeneration, conservation, management and community engagement. We specialise in working with the public sector, particularly local authorities, but also assist private sector clients in dealing with the local planning process.

We are a network of independent consultants with members in the North West and South-East of England. Envision comprises a core group of four: Keith Reed, Kate Bailey, Keith Keeley and David Williams. While we all operate as independent consultants, we also work together on major projects.

All of the team have considerable experience and a proven track record in a wide range of planning, regeneration, environmental and management work and have held positions of responsibility in major organisations and on a host of successful projects.

We understand the needs and constraints of government authorities and agencies, especially at times of financial constraint and legislative change. We know about public sector issues and procedures and have no conflicts of interest.

We provide personal, dedicated and cost-effective ways to meet client requirements. Our approach is to work with, not just for, you, selecting the right team to address your problems in a flexible way, while also helping to develop your own staff to continue the work.

We have low overheads, so our rates are reasonable and provide value for money, especially when considering the extent and currency of our experience. What’s more, who you see is who you get! You will be served throughout by the same senior staff who will actually do the work.

Envision is able to call upon the services of a wide network of professionals including specialists in other fields, who operate as self employed consultants. Our 'associates' (see separate page) are available to assist on the larger projects where additional resources and expertise are needed.
