Local and regional economic development is at the core of our business. Our consultancy team members have worked on a range of strategic issues for local economies in the UK and abroad. We have also developed a range of economic development services which can be replicated in different places and customised to meet precise client needs. Our expertise and experience include: SME Support Systems The Economic Monitoring Service (EMS) Project Design, Finance and Appraisal Strategy Development Programme & Project management Exit and succession planning SME Support Systems We have a sound track record of giving close-up, hands on support to growing small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and to the design and management of support schemes with a range of partners. Perhaps the most notable of these is the `Building East' project - an ongoing scheme which is helping smaller firms in the Thames Gateway sub-region to raise their competitiveness and become 'fit to supply' to meet the challenges and opportunities brought by the development of the Thames Gateway and the London 2012 Olympics and Paralympics. The Economic Monitoring Service Urbecon designed and created this methodology in response to clients' need for a statistical situational analysis of a local economy. The EMS tells the story behind the numbers and gives a clear picture of what is happening in the local economy. It is an essential precursor to professional strategy development or review. Project Design, Finance and Appraisal Our team can help turn your good idea into a viable, costed scheme and provide a supporting feasibility study.
