2025 saw increased appetite for our work internationally, ending with a competition win to reimagine the Western Gate area of #Almaty to create a liveable new neighbourhood in the largest city in #Kazakhstan. We couldn’t have hoped for a better way to end the year. Excited by what's to come.

Good news as the year closes out as the Droves Solar Farm DCO application put forward by #IslandGreenPower has been accepted for examination by the Planning Inspectorate. The first milestone on hopefully the road to consent and an important step towards increasing the UK’s #energy security.
