Strategic Communications
We are proud to partner with a broad range of clients on commercial and socially significant projects of every scale. Both in the public and private sector, our aim is to forge long-term relationships so that every challenge and complexity is tackled with insight and foresight.
The fact that I have employed the services of tor&co, under various guises, for around 30 years, clearly indicates the very high esteem with which I hold the Company. As a house builder having to battle against the increasingly onerous requirements of the planning system, there is great value in having the support of a professional, inter-disciplinary and successful company such as tor&co. However, it is also about the people, and without exception those who represent the company, whilst maintaining a high degree of professionalism, are always a pleasure to work with.
We have worked with tor&co on many projects over the years and continue to do so, they provide a comprehensive service, offer well researched and robust advice, and often contribute support beyond their brief and our expectations.
The team at tor&co is not only astute when it comes to advising on planning strategy and diligently guiding applications and appeals through the process (we’ve been the beneficiaries of several permissions now with their assistance), but they are a pleasure to work with. Planning aside, their inter-disciplinary nature has also been useful having utilised their heritage, landscape, masterplanning and viability services on a number of schemes.
I have worked with tor&co on many planning cases and you will not find a better firm to help you resolve your issues. Dedicated, efficient, good with clients, always a pleasure to work with their teams and, above all else, great at what they do.
It is rare to find a team of people who work so intuitively together that it begins to feel like family. For more than 10 years, we have worked with tor&co on a variety of projects and just being good enough has never been their approach. We have consistently sought to achieve far more for our clients than they could have imagined, culminating in unlocking tangible increases in asset value on every project we have collaborated on. I look forward to the next one…
