It's great to have our Manchester-based Account Manager, Jade Anderson, back from maternity leave and diving straight back into the world of property and regeneration.
Jade attended the @womeninproperty People Innovation Place Summit yesterday. The day featured thought-provoking presentations on how the next generation will shape the future, alongside interactive workshops focused on reimagining and revitalising some of Manchester’s most overlooked spaces.
What do you think is the biggest opportunity for regeneration in Manchester right now?

We’re pleased to support the NIPA Annual Conference 2026 as a sponsor this year.
At a time when the NSIP regime continues to evolve, with increasing expectations around delivery, the value of informed, open discussion across the sector has never been clearer.
The event will bring together key figures shaping the future of UK infrastructure planning, creating a space to reflect on progress made over the past 12 months, what's changing and future opportunities and challenges.
We'll listen, contribute and stay close to the conversations shaping the future of infrastructure planning in the UK.

What does meaningful community engagement actually change?
Plans for Phase One of East Bank Urban Village in Hull have now been submitted, and the answer is clear.
It’s not just about delivering 115 new homes, but about how those proposals have been shaped along the way. Residents and stakeholders influenced the outcome, helping ensure the new homes will meet local demand and create an inclusive, accessible neighbourhood.
Priorities such as green community space, biodiversity, parking and traffic, and the future of historic assets – such as the former Lock Keeper’s Cottage – were brought into sharper focus through the engagement process.
That’s the difference. When engagement is done well, it moves beyond consultation. It helps create places that reflect the people who will live there, not just plans on paper.
Working as part of a brilliant team, we’re proud to have supported the community engagement programme that helped shape the proposals. We look forward to seeing East Bank continue to take shape.

It’s where priorities become clearer. Where partnerships start to take shape. And where the direction of travel for places across the UK becomes easier to read.
@ukreiif is taking place in Leeds from 19-21 May.
We’ll be there to listen, to contribute, and to stay close to the conversations that matter. If you’re heading to Leeds too, let's have a conversation.

The @insiderbusinessnews South Yorkshire Property Awards are a moment to recognise the work shaping our towns, cities and communities, and the people behind it.
That’s why we’re pleased to, once again, be supporting the event as headline sponsor. Our @altitudepr colleagues are sponsors of the Property Deal of the Year Award. 🏆
Across South Yorkshire, development is being driven forward by organisations willing to take on complexity, work in partnership, and deliver change that lasts. This event brings that work into focus, celebrating progress, sharing success, and recognising the collective effort it takes to deliver meaningful change.
Because while projects are built on technical expertise, their impact is defined by how well they’re understood, supported and sustained.
We’re proud to support an event that reflects that reality and shines a light on the businesses making it happen.
See you there. 👋

We’re delighted to share that ‘Our Future Dewsbury’ has been shortlisted for the Community Engagement prize at the prestigious Pineapples Awards 2026. 🍍
The category celebrates projects that meaningfully involve residents in urban design and development. This nomination reflects the care and dedication of everyone involved in ensuring the communities of Dewsbury remain front and centre in shaping the town’s long-term regeneration.
It’s been a pleasure to support both @Dewsbury_Neighbourhood_Board and @kirklees.council on this project.
Excitingly, it isn’t the only shortlisted project we’ve been involved in. Across this year’s competition, we’re proud to have supported engagement and consultation on several projects shortlisted by the judges, including:
• Dewsbury Plan for Neighbourhoods
• Bradford City Centre & Cycling
• Hull City Centre Vision
• Heart of the City, Sheffield
Each of these projects reflects a shared commitment to clear, honest engagement — helping communities understand change, shape outcomes, and build trust in long-term placemaking decisions.
Congratulations to all project teams shortlisted this year. 🎉

Counter Context's Leigh B and Clare Birch will be attending the Transport Development Planning conference hosted by LandorLINKS on Thursday 4th December at Regent's Park Conference Centre in London.
The discussion will focus on the revised National Planning Policy Framework, which advocates for transport to be considered in the earliest stages of plan-making and development proposals, using a vision-led approach.
We see community and stakeholder engagement as integral to developing integrated transport solutions that work and genuinely deliver desired outcomes.
As a strategic communications consultancy working across transport, regeneration and energy, we're looking forward to being part of the discussion and debate.
If you're set to attend and would like to connect on the day, do get in touch.

It was a pleasure to be involved in last week's @SheffieldDesignAwards for Public Art. We spent the evening recognising the artists whose creativity is transforming public spaces into places people feel connected to.
As sponsors of the Mural Award, we would like to say a huge congratulations to the winner, Megan Russell a.k.a @peachzz , for her outstanding contribution 'Reverie' in Pounds Park. Well done to all nominees, highly commended, and winners across all categories. ✨
Sheffield’s public art scene is playing a powerful role in placemaking; telling our stories, lifting our streets, and helping communities feel proud of where they live and work.

We're proud to sponsor the Mural Award at the upcoming @SheffieldDesignAwards for Public Art.
This award celebrates the best permanent mural created in Sheffield, recognising the impact of public art in transforming spaces, nurturing community identity, and enhancing our city’s public realm.
As a communications agency that works across regeneration, property, energy and transport, collaborating with public-art initiatives like this one aligns perfectly with our purpose: to tell stories that shape place and people.
Congratulations to all the shortlisted artists. We look forward to celebrating how your work brings vibrancy and meaning to Sheffield’s streets.
