Who we are
We are small, energetic and efficient team of consultants working with a total commitment to quality and innovation in all we do. We hold a strong believe in the social and economic value and importance of Leisure and Community based projects and this belief underpins our approach.
Copyright © 2012 PtP
We have a particular interest and experience in sustainable recreation projects, community based leisure developments and performance improvement in a number of sectors. We are equally happy leading projects or collaborating with other specialists on multi-dicipline assignments.
We fundamentally believe in the potential of people and champion the role of leisure in contributing to quality of life, improved health and nurturing the social and psycholigical well-being of individuals and communities alike.
We place community consultation, partnership working and active involvement at the core of our work. We are also committeed to action and results. We will aim to produce work that makes a difference and instigates activity and challenge. We do not produce long, dry and academic reports that fulfill an obligation to "get a strategy done". Our reports will include recommendations and action plans and will be written from a practitioner's perspective.
We regularly undertake interim roles as well as consultancy assignments in order to demonstrate that we can "walk the talk". We will have successful practical experience in delivering the subject matter on which we will be commissioned.
