Culture and Leisure

This sector has seen significant change in recent years, with reduced demand from international and domestic populations. For our clients, this has meant more scrutiny and testing of project investment returns, and a focus on differentiation, with our involvement focused an needs analyses and business cases to support the capital investment.

Once the initial investment hurdle has been jumped, our experience is in planning the development and providing a development management framework to ensure the benefits are achieved and the investment is actively managed.
