The story so far

The story so far

Founded 1999: We were established in 1999, in a side street between Brixton, Clapham and Streatham – Thorncliffe Road.

Richard Patient, Founder and Managing Director, recognised the need to help developers build beautiful homes, help local communities engage with housebuilders and commercial developers in a meaningful manner, and help local councillors get more of what they want for the local community.

2001 Brent Cross Cricklewood: One of our earliest projects was the £4.5bn scheme that includes the transformation of Brent Cross shopping centre, public transport infrastructure and 7,500 new homes. The scheme is expected to support up to 27,000 full time jobs and have a huge economic boost for the area.

2005 Pan Peninsula: The radical change in terms of residential accommodation on the Isle of Dogs started in the mid 2000s with the arrival of Pan Peninsula. East London is a magnet for homes and jobs, and our skills in boroughs such as Hackney, Lewisham, Newham, Islington, Greenwich and Tower Hamlets has been a massive boost to local people.

2008 UK wide coverage: We’ve been working across the UK now for over 12 years, and in that time, we’ve covered schemes ranging from Forres – on the tip of Scotland, to Denzell Downs – near Newquay. Our bread and butter business is in London and the Home Counties.

2010 Your Shout brand emerges: We’ve been campaigning and consulting local communities for many years – for instance, winning campaigns on the Aylesbury and Heygate in Southwark, West Hendon and Stonegrove in Barnet, and South Kilburn in Brent.

Your Shout was added as a brand to work for local councils, RPs and conduct community consultation on behalf of private sector developers.

“Your Shout delivered our highest ever consultation participation rate. But that was just the beginning. They continue to create innovative and effective methods of engaging residents in the two-way process” 

2012 Albert Embankment starts in earnest: Back in 2008, we helped gain consent for the first major scheme on the embankment – then called Hampton House (and now called The Corniche). But this year, things really took off. We’ve since helped out on most of the major scheme along that way, all the way from Lambeth Bridge to the towers that abut the Wandsworth boundary.

2014 Centrepoint: One of the most recognised towers in central London, we helped secure consent to transform this office block to luxury apartments next to the massive new Tottenham Court Road station.

2018 Investors in People Gold: We’ve been accredited with Investors in People for many years – since 2005. So it was to the great credit of colleagues and managers that we achieved the Gold standard award.

2020 communtyUK: The covid lockdown meant we needed to think of doing things differently. Our communityUK platform is the best in kind – replicating the public exhibition. It’s a game-changer, say our clients, most of whom predict that we will not be going back to traditional public exhibitions.

ORCL is the semi-autonomous government body that “regulates” the public affairs industry. We were one of only a handful of companies that had their code approved by ORCL – the Office of the Registrar of Consultant Lobbyists. That’s because we adhere to a externally-enforced code of conduct.

What people say about us…

Smooth operation

Many thanks for last night: a very smooth operation!

Message was very welcome

Was a great result – especially to receive unanimous approval! Many thanks also for you and your team’s work in the run up to the committee. Getting those messages across really helped and was evident by the feedback given by members on both sides of the political spectrum … notably on the successfully engagement with residents and how the scheme responded accordingly. Message was very welcome!

On point

Harry was on point and has been the whole way through. We are all very chuffed. We are already preparing for another rather testing application on another site and you can be certain that we will engage you

Appreciated

Thanks Richard, your help has been much appreciated. Will let you know when the next job comes up!

Big guns!

Thanks for your and the team’s help. It was good to know we had the proverbial big guns in our armoury!

You kept calm

Many thanks for that: your team did very well, and kept a lot calmer than me! Matt was a sensible wise head, as was Alex, but he also made me think succinctly for the questions and how to answer, which is a great skill to try and acquire. Especially for someone as verbose as me!

A unanimous approval

Councillors praised both officers and the developer on their work and engagement.

A unanimous approval 5-0

With your help

Really pleased to hear the news this evening

With your help, we got it through !!!!

Best Regards!

Truly excellent example

Great news that we approved 60 houses on green belt last night.

It was tremendous that the Chair said that this was a “truly excellent example of good consultation…”

Gave me more confidence

Thank you – we were both somewhat surprised given the level of objections but in fact the committee hardly discussed the scheme at all before consenting it.

Thanks to your team for preparing me well for the committee which certainly gave me more confidence.

A big relief

Thank you. A big relief. As I am sure you can appreciate, we are delighted!

Your team did a great job, especially Matt who was integral.

I look forward to catching up soon.

Unanimous

196 flats approved unanimously, thanks to all involved.

Professional and effective

I wanted to thank you and all at Thorncliffe for managing the consultation process so professionally and effectively. This, without doubt, played a crucial role in gaining the approval.

Once again, all our thanks.

Was a good result

Cant remember the last time I got anything through unanimously!

Was a good result, it’s the right scheme for the site and of course we had a great team including yourselves working on it,

First class troops

Richard. Your troops did a first class job as always. Many thanks

Praise for communityUK

Well done for the way you presented tonight’s online consultation. I thought it was an excellent format.

I just wanted to say thank you again for all your help with the great result last night.

You have been tremendous and it is much appreciated.
