details of your enquiry or project
any other information you choose to include when contacting us

We may also collect limited technical information when you use our website, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited and how you interact with the site. This may be collected through cookies, analytics tools or similar technologies.

How we use your information

We use personal information to:

respond to enquiries submitted through the website, by email or by telephone
communicate with you about our services
provide consultancy services where you or your organisation becomes a client
manage client and business relationships
keep appropriate business and project records
improve the performance, security and usability of our website

Lawful basis for using your information

Under UK data protection law, we must have a lawful basis for using your personal information.

Depending on the circumstances, we may rely on:

Consent — where you have given us clear permission, such as accepting non-essential cookies or choosing to receive specific communications.

Contract — where processing is necessary to provide services to you or to take steps before entering into a contract.

Legitimate interests — where we use information in a way that is reasonably expected as part of running and developing our business, responding to enquiries, maintaining client relationships, improving our website and protecting our business, provided your rights and interests do not override those interests.

Legal obligation — where we need to process information to comply with legal, regulatory, accounting or tax requirements.

Contact forms and enquiries

If you submit an enquiry through our website, we will use the information you provide to respond to your message and deal with your request.

We may keep enquiry records for a reasonable period so that we can manage follow-up communications, maintain business records and refer back to previous discussions where appropriate.

Clients and project information

If you or your organisation becomes a client, we may process personal information as part of providing our consultancy services. This may include contact details, professional correspondence, project information and records relating to instructions, advice, reports, billing and administration.

We only use this information for legitimate business purposes connected with providing and managing our services.

Cookies and website analytics

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to make the site work properly, improve performance and understand how visitors use the website.

Some cookies are essential for the website to function. Others, such as analytics or performance cookies, may only be used where consent is required and has been provided.

You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. If a cookie banner or preference tool is available on our website, you can also use it to manage your choices.

For more information about cookies and your rights, you can visit the Information Commissioner’s Office guidance on cookies.

Who we share information with

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share personal information with trusted third parties where necessary to operate our business and provide our services, including:

website hosting and website platform providers
IT, email and cloud storage providers
professional advisers, such as accountants, solicitors or insurers
consultants, contractors or project team members where this is necessary for a client instruction
regulators, public authorities or legal bodies where required by law

Where we use third-party service providers, we expect them to handle personal information securely and only for the purposes instructed.

International transfers

Some service providers used to operate our website, email, hosting, analytics or cloud systems may process information outside the United Kingdom.

Where this happens, we take steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place so that your personal information remains protected in accordance with applicable data protection law.

How long we keep information

We keep personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.

The length of time will depend on the type of information and the reason it was collected. For example:

website enquiry records may be kept for a reasonable period to allow us to respond and manage follow-up communications
client and project records may be retained for longer where needed for legal, contractual, regulatory, insurance, accounting or professional reasons
website analytics information is kept only for as long as needed to understand and improve website performance

When information is no longer needed, we will delete it or anonymise it where appropriate.

How we protect your information

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.

However, no website, email system or online transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should take care when sending confidential or sensitive information electronically.
