Manchester all set for WYG week
The first week of October sees the return of WYG Week, a series of events over a five day programme to say thank you to clients as well as offering an occasion to network with other professionals working in the built environment.
Award winning consultancy WYG’s Planning & Environment teams, will host a variety of seminars and evening networking events nationwide focusing on topical industry subjects.
This year, the emphasis will be on our Planning and Environment services, and will boast a larger client and employee invitation list and larger venues making the events bigger and better than ever before.
Tim Holden, Managing Director of WYG Planning & Environment said: ‘We’re delighted to be able to celebrate another WYG Week. This is the ideal opportunity to say a big ‘thank you’ to our clients and colleagues who have worked so hard on many challenging and rewarding projects throughout the year’.
Tim added, ‘Planning has rarely featured so prominently in the economic and political arena. The Government’s intention to introduce further changes to the planning system will, I think, raise new opportunities and challenges for us all. We will be exploring these opportunities through the various events we have planned. We hope everyone associated with WYG will join us in celebrating what I am confident will be a successful WYG Week.’
WYG’s Planning and Environment teams offers innovative, practical and cost-effective advice that helps clients make informed investment decisions and gain successful outcomes from the planning system. Their planning services fall into three main categories – town planning, landscape & design and environmental planning – the scope of which range from preliminary site appraisals through to preparing and submitting planning applications and accompanying documentation.
Following on from WYG week, the Manchester office will be holding an evening drinks reception in November at the newly refurbished Cloud 23 in the Hilton, Manchester.
The floor to ceiling windows offer jaw-dropping views from the Beetham Tower across a cityscape which is constantly changing thanks in large part to WYG’s clients.
