BPS - About the Company

Introduction

BPS covers the interlinked services of business support, planning and sustainable development.

The business support often starts with a basic Sustainable Development Audit to ascertain the nature of the business; its strengths and weaknesses; its successes and its challenges. An Action Plan is created identifying priorities. Specific issues are then tackled in a practical way with a view to reducing costs and increasing profitability. 

Planning focuses on all aspects of the planning process from regional and local strategy and policy to advising on and making planning applications,whilst handling appeals at all levels.

Sustainable Development covers the interaction of economic, environmental and social issues in the context of business, planning and project development. Increasingly referred to as corporate social responsibility, it is becoming a priority in promoting best business practice.
