Wow 🤦🏻

The 2012 Social Value Act is full of solid ambitions but a week rarely passes without another client, collaborator or colleague lamenting how great intentions for #outcomes have been dumbed down into box tick lists of #outputs. 🤦🏻Sound familiar? Talk to my Hatch colleague Sarah Richards to find out more about how we’re shaping the #socialimpact agenda with investors, developers and their stakeholders.💥

One of the joys of a new challenge is learning about new things. In my first six months at Hatch I have been particularly fascinated by the arts & culture clients that keep coming back to Tim for support in making the case for investment. If you're not one of them yet, I'd encourage you to join the band... 😉

My Hatch colleague David Watson has extensive experience of helping UK local authorities to make good investment decisions. Read his initial thoughts on Local Growth Plans (LGPs) here, and please get in touch if you want to chat further! #investment #growth #lgp 👍

One of the strengths of Hatch is our flat global structure, but only if we can leverage it! To this end, I’ve just returned from a 14 day trip to #Singapore, #Sydney, #Melbourne and #Perth.🌍I’m not a fan of unconstrained long distance travel (and the associated negative externalities) but I firmly believe that deep personal connections are critical for successful teams.💥 It’s been an action packed and inspiring schedule of colleagues, clients, coffees, chats, workshops, dinners, beers and more - and also a great opportunity to focus on what we want from our #UrbanSolutions business, and how to make this happen.🙏And so back to the day job of leading the UK team, and leaning into the EU & ME markets, but now with a much clearer understanding of our global capabilities, and underpinned by the deep connections that will be essential for success.🤝And finally, no trip is complete without a few quirky photos of places & me, plus a guest appearance from my colleague Leigh Holford too!Want to know more?

Day 4 of UKREiiF* and I’m back home in #Stockport (the #1 place to live in the North West) with 101 things to follow up on plus a full inbox and everything else that has been parked all week.Yesterday was a lot quieter on site - but still plenty going on. Great to see Helen Lafferty, Sean Traynor, Catherine Birks and Paul Irwin. Also enjoyed the PLACED workshop with Jo Harrop and a fabulous team of planners, designers and communicators!🙏Really nice to talk to Nicole Billington CIPR re #Preston (my birthplace!) and see Hatch acknowledged for our work on their 2035 Plan.💥So, is today a good day to be booking hotels for UKREiiF 2025?Bring on the long weekend.😴🍻———*aka “the day after UKREiiF”!
