Events worldwide highlight not only the vulnerabilities of islands and small remote communities but also the opportunities open to them. Given rapidly changing global circumstances, what future resources should be committed to providing an essential service, a key infrastructure project, or to developing a business profitably? 

To meet these challenges, we focus on the importance of identifying the facts, obtaining sound data and information, drawing upon relevant best practice, and then determining the most practical and cost-effective solutions going forward. 

Based in the Channel Islands, we pride ourselves in being able to offer a mix of both public and private sector experience at the highest level within an island environment. This is a key strength during a time of recovery and when re-invention and innovation will be high priority areas and public/private partnerships will increasingly be important.

Complementary skill sets and, above all, a high degree of economic, financial and social expertise are essential components in addressing the many varying issues relevant to islands and small communities. 

In the light of the many unique challenges now facing islands, we will be carrying out regular reviews under our 'State of the Islands' brand. 

​​

Each review will specifically focus on a particular subject and how island communities are addressing the economic, social or environmental issues relevant to the topic.  Wherever possible, best practice will be highlighted as will the importance of critical mass and economies of scale is to that subject.
