About Us

“Sustainable development requires the participation of everyone in the UK. So it is essential that we find better ways of involving all sectors, and the public at large, in decisions.” (‘Sustainable Development - A Better Quality Of Life’, published by the Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions, 1999).

Countryscape was formed by a collection of like-minded people, drawn together from diverse professional backgrounds, yet sharing a common concern for our natural and cultural landscape. We operate as an independent company, possessing a wealth of expertise in the fields of design and communication, mapping/GIS and landscape consultancy.

Why this particular mix of skills?

In short, there are great benefits to be gained from sharing knowledge and expertise across a range of disciplines. Sustainable development demands a wide variety of skills and knowledge from different professional and local partners, and we believe that good communication between all partners in sustainable development is paramount to its success. By operating in this way, we are able to combine and thus strengthen individual skills, while bringing a fresh and innovative perspective to our work - a perspective that has proved invaluable in bridging the gap between professional experts and local people.

This multi-disciplinary approach allows us to be flexible in applying creative thinking and solid technical principles to a wide range of environmental, spatial and communications challenges, and in this respect our client list speaks for itself. We have experience of working closely with local, regional and national government, often in partnership with other private companies, universities, non-governmental organisations and community groups.

Take a look at our logo and you’ll see how it all fits together – individual skills, disciplines, ideas and experiences, all pointing towards a common purpose and working together to build a bigger picture. That’s exactly where you are right now, with our expertise at your fingertips, able to forge creative solutions that can inform, persuade and inspire.
