East Renfrewshire Community Learning and Development Partnership
“All aspects of the work were carried out as agreed at the outset.
Progress reports and regular meetings meant that the steering group was kept up to date.
The whole process of commissioning and completing the review was made straightforward by the experience and professionalism of the consultancy.
There were clear outcomes provided for each part of the process and these were fully met.
The final report provided the steering group with well-considered and appropriate options which struck a balance between the demands on funders from a strategic perspective and the development needs of the locally based projects in a changing operational environment.”
“This was a complex piece of work well done”
Glasgow Healthy City Partnership
“The company always fully understands the situation at hand, in a short-space of time, and can very quickly move forward to address the issues.”
Shetland Community Planning Partnership – Community Planning Support Team
The team at Liber8 felt both consultants were thorough, professional and inclusive in their approach. Their enthusiasm in their work and their skills allowed our team to find the sessions conducted, interesting and enjoyable.
In terms of the Business Plan, it was presented in an accessible format, easy to read and understand without the usual jargon which is often used as a smoke screen. The plan is also very direct in terms of its recommendations, highlighting much of the positives and suggesting direct actions to reduce and address the negatives.
All in all the work of devlinbeattie and its product, the Plan, was a positive and worthwhile experience and we would not hesitate to use the company for future consultations.
