Public Sector

Partners in Harper Keeley have extensive experience of working across the Public Sector, both with individual organisations, and in partnership arrangements, particularly at the Higher Education and NHS interface.   

Emphasis has been on creating an operational environment that will foster research and innovation, and also partnerships with the business sector and charities.

We have experience of working with the following organisations in the public sector:

• Other NHS Healthcare providers
• Regional development agencies throughout the UK and LEPs in England since the demise of RDAs in England
• Government departments in UK and internationally

• Support for the implementation of government initiatives
• Support for partnership working with other public sector organisations, the busines sector and charities
• Specialist expertise to support new initiatives
