Commercial Programmes

It was useful for Gilli to test our appetite for commerciality, some ideas landed better than others and this has really helped us to focus our efforts on things that will be more likely to succeed. Support provided exceeded expectations – GIlli’s knowledge and friendly approach was very helpful to tackle some of the trickier issues around implementing a more commercial culture. – Corporate Director

 Gilli has been instrumental in the development of our commercial approach. It was great to have her experience and skill to support our officers to provide the foundation for our Better at Business programme. She has also provided a mentoring role to some of our key officers which has helped them to develop their own commercial skills. – Chief Executive

 Assistant Director

We always believed that we offered an excellent, value for money building control service.  However, we recognise the changes and challenges local councils continue to face in relation to delivering a quality service while being commercially savvy.  By holding the Value Proposition workshop, facilitated by Gilli, we reminded ourselves of why we are good – but acknowledged that there are still areas for development and improvement to be addressed if we are to remain competitive.  While this workshop focussed on the building control service, I feel that there is merit in adopting a similar process for other local authority services.

Chief Executive:

Gilli brought experience, coherence and pace to developing the project which was appreciated by all of the partner authorities.

Environment Agency 

We face many of the same challenges as other public sector organisations, and, like many of them, we’re exploring ways of generating income to go towards the services we provide local communities, such as amenities on our waterways.
