Founded in 1992, London-based Redwood Consulting specialises in providing consultancy services in the UK and international real estate market and the built environment. The firm has an established team of experienced communications strategists.
Its services include strategic communications consultancy, stakeholder communication, marketing and brand consultancy, positioning and reputation management. Since it was established, the firm has worked with a number of blue-chip property industry clients, including M&G Real Estate, Hermes Investment Management, TH Real Estate, Leslie Jones Architects, Stanhope, Schroders, Mitsui Fudosan, AMF Fastigheter and Lunson Mitchenall.
Managing Director Kate Bourne and Director Debbie Cracknell have worked for the firm for 25 and 30 years, respectively.
Kate Bourne commented: “With a team consisting of media experts, former journalists, brand and reputation management consultants and political and stakeholder engagement specialists, we look forward to supporting our clients, existing and new, to thrive in the highly dynamic real estate market that we all work within.”
Debbie Cracknell added that, after more than 30 years in the industry, Redwood Consulting has “a solid foundation”. She continued that the goal would now be to “further develop and apply the responsive, entrepreneurial spirit of Redwood to bring real value to our clients”.
