Douglas Westwater, Director
...
Douglas manages and provides strategic direction to the organisation, but due to our size, also undertakes work with clients.
Douglas is an expert in project business planning, project management and project financing.
Douglas has worked throughout Scotland with a wide range of community run organisations.
The development of capital projects including locally owned community facilities development is a particular area of his expertise, and his work has ranged from small developments to large capital projects with a range of stakeholders.
In the last 3 years he has successfully developed business plans for more than 70 organisations.
In addition to writing plans, Douglas is an expert in implementation, having applied for over £6,000,000 of finance from a range of funders including central and local government, Lottery distributors and so on.
This added expertise ensures that not only are the business plans he writes effective for the organisations he works with, but they are easily transferable into applications for investment/funding.
