EPONA : Profile
Posted by eponaland on August 23, 2008
Founded in 1994, EPONA is a consultancy and project development business working primarily in Area Regeneration (Regional, Urban & Rural), but also with an interest in Equestrian Heritage. All our work stresses the importance of sustainable development.
Consultancy and Projects
Our approach to the provision of consultancy and project services is first and foremost based upon common sense. EPONA’s Principal, Janet Mackinnon, has nearly 25 years of experience across the regeneration spectrum and has been an independent consultant for most of this time. Our clients have ranged from community-based project start-ups to leading-edge commercial organisations.
Area Regeneration
Although we have been involved in physical, social and cultural regeneration, our primary mission is to help clients better understand the “Economy of Place” in a spatial and time (past, present, future) context. We take a “wide-angle” and objective interest in Regional and Local Property Markets and Land Economy, of which housing is an important part, but not exclusively so.
Equestrian Heritage
Land/Craft-based and Cultural Industries have formed part of EPONA’s consultancy portfolio since our inception. Amongst other projects, we have helped define the components of a Centre for Equestrian Excellence. Janet’s “Horse Blogs” are @ http://horsework.wordpress.com & http://horsework.blogspot.com
Sustainable Development
Janet started her career in area regeneration through working for non-governmental and community-based organisations involved with transport, social housing and the environment. Sustainable development has always been core to EPONA’s work, which emphasises the importance of economic and environmental sustainability, as the basis for sustainable community.
