Client Testimonials
“Tess Cook and Shaun Gaffey and the wider team at RJP have been supporting ADComms to deliver multiple applications for telecommunications infrastructure across the Merseyrail Network. Building on the application strategy foundations set up by Tess, Shaun has taken a hands-on role engaging with our team in problem-solving and providing solid planning advice.

“I have worked with RJP on a variety of different projects, both in Hertfordshire and St Helens. RJP has always provided a personal yet highly professional service which offers an insightful and conscientious approach to planning, both at strategic and delivery levels. Specifically, RJP has always demonstrated a positive, solution orientated focus when dealing with planning matters – essential if one is to maintain the kind of balance which is required for one to unlock opportunities in a constructive and forward thinking way.”
