Update:
Just in from one of our mentoring clients:
Dear Chris,
I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for your invaluable guidance and support during our sessions. Your mentorship has been instrumental in my success, and I am truly grateful for the time and effort you have invested in me.
Your expertise in understanding the dynamics of the public sector, identifying potential pitfalls, resolving management issues, and suggesting relevant books has been incredibly helpful. Your ability to recognise my skills and passions and guide me in the right direction has been invaluable.
I am particularly grateful for the example you shared of your mother, whose fierce determination and resilience inspired me to face the challenges of inequality in a male-dominated workplace. Your recommendations for older books were spot on and have significantly contributed to my understanding and growth.
Your positive reinforcement has helped me stay motivated and focused on my goals.
Thank you again for everything.
Sincerely
We received some lovely feedback from one of Christophers' mentoring clients:
"I met Chris at a crossroads point in my life. I found Chris's mentoring support invaluable to me at a time when I really needed to make some key decisions about how to move forward in my professional life. His advice was invaluable. His straight talking approach helped me to see what was actually right in front of me all the time. His support also allowed me to see what was really important to me and to decide what actions needed to be put in place to move forward".
THANK YOU
We want to say a big thank you to all our clients, members of our network and collaborators for your support.
Our business was set up 11 years ago on the values of integrity professionalism and friendliness and we still champion these values today. We never have and never will take on work that is not beneficial to our clients and as many of you know we have challenged and will continue to challenge ourselves our network and our clients to make positive changes to the projects that we deliver and the organisations and people we work with.
2020 is posing massive social and economic challenges but we have a pipeline of work and while underpinning economic and social conditions will be very tough, we see plenty of opportunities for our clients and our businesses which we fully intend to grasp.

Case Study Brentwood Asset Development Programme
We are thrilled that our client, Brentwood Borough Council, has agreed to award a £1bn Joint Venture partnership contract and framework agreement to Morgan Sindall Investments Ltd through Seven Arches Investments Ltd, subject to agreement of final detailed terms between the parties in compliance with procurement regulatory requirements.
This was a key milestone in the Councils Asset Development Programme in which our Director Chris Gill acted as project lead and strategic advisor to deliver the following objectives:
1. Scope out and procure, the most appropriate delivery vehicle to deliver the Council’s Asset Development programme. The vehicle will be a mechanism for securing cash/revenue flows to the Council and for delivering development objectives and housing.
2. Lead and advise on the setting up of the Local Authority Trading Company - (Seven Arches Investments Ltd)
3. Lead and advise on the efficient and effective setting up of an appropriate Property Services Asset Register along with procedures and protocols which will be fit for the future, particularly given the Council’s asset development programme
Throughout the project we have had the pleasure of working alongside a great team of professional advisors, key informants, bidders (and their professional teams) in helping the council make better use of its assets to realise its financial, regeneration and assets agenda.
We have been particularly impressed by the manner in which the Councils in house team has grown in stature, capacity and confidence over the lifetime of the project - as evidenced by their success delivering the Town Hall redevelopment shown in the photograph above. This is a lasting legacy that we always seek to achieve and for which Chris was recognised by our client for being:
“a rare individual who has the ability to convey complex investment decisions in a way that others can understand, this is coupled with his ability to produce and develop relationships which result in trust and confidence with all levels that he deals with. He is respected by colleagues, politicians and his peers, and quite rightly so”.
