Many of our clients come to us at the point where they are considering making a substantial financial investment in the economy of Kent or the wider south of England.
For public and private sector organisations, not overly familiar with the geographical area and local business climate, building traction can be a daunting task. Especially without any established connections among local influencers, e.g. politicians, community and business leaders and representatives of the media.
