About Us

What we do
At LOCATION, we bring together expertise in planning and regeneration to turn ambitious ideas into deliverable projects. Working collaboratively with communities, clients and partners, we develop innovative, sustainable and place-led solutions that create lasting value, strengthen communities and shape better places for the future.
Why did we start LOCATION?
To give communities a voice and help organisations turn great ideas into projects that create better places and lasting social impact.
What problems are we trying to solve?
We’re addressing the gap between vision and delivery. Too many communities and organisations have worthwhile projects but lack the planning, expertise, and coordination needed to bring them to life.
What impact do we want to have?
We want to help create stronger, more connected communities by turning ideas into meaningful spaces, projects and opportunities that have a lasting impact.
