Buckman Associates Ltd has a strong track record in delivering:
- Strategic economic planning/industrial strategies

- Funding plans e.g. European Structural Investment Fund (ESIF) Strategies and LEADER Local Development Strategies
- Sector-based plans/strategies
We take pride in our inclusive, flexible approach, working collaboratively with client teams and their partners from the public, private and voluntary sector to reach an understanding of shared priorities. This ensures buy-in and commitment to the strategy and its delivery. Our work is informed by a thorough analysis of qualitative and quantitative evidence to ensure priorities are evidence-based. As well as agreeing priorities, we work closely with partners to develop a clear action/delivery plan to take forward the strategy.
