Our Clients and Associates

 

We have worked with local authorities such as Dublin City Council, Kildare County Council, Fingal County Council, Waterford City and County Council and Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council in Ireland as well as business organisations such as the Sandyford BID CLG and the Digital HQ in Dun Laoghaire to prepare or review initiatives and plans for revitalising places that will drive local economic development.

 

We also work in association with social enterprises in Ireland such as Innovate Dublin Communities, Connect the Dots and O’Cualann Co-housing Alliance with whom we share a commitment and passion to build sustainable communities.

 

We have built a strong international network and connections in Europe and in the United States. We draw on our relationship with the European Union’s URBACT Programme and with the Project for Public Spaces in the United States. We are in a position to work in partnership with counterparts in Portugal, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Croatia, Slovenia and Hungary to serve our clients needs.

 

Client Testimonials

  • "Wessel is passionate about cities and he is able to transfer his knowledge with great enthusiasm. This makes him a person that inspires and encourages the people and teams he works with to get the best out of the project and themselves. He is also able to give room to all cultural backgrounds involved in the projects, cities and organizations that he works with."

    Yvette Petit, City Centre Manager, Heerlen City Council, The Netherlands

  • "Wessel always says that he learnt everything about URBACT from me. I do not think so, but I indeed learn a lot from Wessel’s enthusiasm and passionate behaviour towards public spaces, and through public spaces to people and more democratic public life in general. I always appreciate his humbleness and preciseness, that he really wants to see positive change in this field. He always concentrates on the challenge, taking its complexity into consideration. It is always challenging and a real learning experience to work with Wessel."

    Ferenc Szigeti-Böröcz, Senior Consultant, HBH Strategy and Development LLC, Budapest

  • "It is rare to find someone who can facilitate the development of strategic content for project development and also support the development of the people involved in the implementation of the project. This is what sets Wessel apart from other consultants."

    Dave Lawless, Tourism Development Officer, Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council
