• Natural Resources Wales: Completed a visitor experience masterplan development plan for Afan Forest Park, which includes two visitor centres and two bike hire operations and an extensive network of mountain biking trails.
• Derby City and County Councils: Working with architects, we carried out a feasibility to develop a cycling based visitor attraction.

• Warwickshire County Council: Advised on development opportunities at Pooley Country Park which incorporates a number of mountain biking tracks
• Forest Enterprise Wales: Feasibility study to assess the opportunity to introduce visitor accommodation at key recreation centres to support the development of mountain biking and walking tourism
• Hampshire County Council: At Queen Elizabeth Country Park, which has a growing mountain biking offer (alongside strong general market appeal), we prepared a development plan for the forest park which helped to unlock just under £2.5million in development funding.
