Cratus Information

Established in 2009, born from our founder's dedication to local communities & local government, Cratus is committed to creating & improving partnerships between local authorities, the private & third sectors & the people they serve. Local government is not an extension to our business, it is our business. Cratus has brought together a powerful cross-party team from the top of local government to provide insight & counsel to our clients as they navigate new & existing local government structures plus other stakeholders and policy-makers influencing the Local World. Unlike traditional agencies who focus on Westminster & Whitehall with 'Local' as an afterthought, our team, many of whom have worked in the sector, is dedicated to local decision-taking & accountability. We are the trusted partner & honest broker for the tier of government that supports & impacts most lives on a day to day basis. Our World is Local is our strength & it can be your advantage. • Community & political engagement & consultation - in person & now complemented via 'Cratus Engage.' our virtual platform • Strategic counsel for business leaders with full access to our senior leadership team • Introduce you to your local public sector: We don’t just open doors, we help you build rapport & trust • Develop your team’s understanding of the local public sector: We won’t seek to replace your team, but will integrate & complement their professional abilities with our knowledge of the politics of the sector • Political audits: Stress test your business, services, products, marketing, & most importantly, your reputation on the local public services sector • Leadership events: We host year-round dinners, roundtables & receptions with leading figures in the public sector.
