Derby...
has a history strewn with creators, innovators, visionaries and makers who changed the world and their pioneering spirit never left the city.
It's a place on the cusp of realising its potential and we're excited to be a part of creating this city destination. And because it's our playground we get to learn lessons, gain real world feedback and find new partnerships to inform our future projects too.
Maybe one of these will be yours?
What if...
nature was the energy driving regeneration?
Our longstanding commitment to enrich our home city with nature and culture, means we have developed a strong relationship with Down To Earth - a community interest company wanting to rebuild the city through nature based regeneration. Working alongside Eden Project too, we have helped create a vision of Derby's future and established the Derby Nature Collective.
What if...
the arts gave everyone
a voice?
As a collective born out of the creative industry, we understand the importance of arts for all. As well as supporting local arts projects, we continue to hold board and trustee-level positions to drive positive change and represent the entirety of society.

What if...
the city was connected
and alive?
Joined-up thinking has become our greatest tool in masterplanning a culturally rich and connected city. We're proud to play an active role in bringing the city's people, assets and stories together for the good of residents, businesses, charities and visitors too.
What if...
we did this in collaboration?
We believe that together is better. Shared goals can be both set and achieved when the right people are sat at the table. We use our expertise to facilitate the engagement and alignment of stakeholders - creating active partnership boards, joint funding proposals, and powerful lobbying.
