Tom Gamble Test Inc

Our KTP with the University of Strathclyde, brilliantly supported by Innovate UK, was the catalyst to advance an important area of our business and to give us a significant lead over our competitors. By exploiting world-leading research at the university, we have developed a unique new digital Walkability Tool to help design resilient, vibrant, and sustainable communities, and to revitalise existing places that are failing. This powerful new tool is now being used on our own projects; as an independent consultancy service for other sites, and is supporting Design Review Panels and Local Authorities in their selection of places where development should occur. It has been recognised too in the UK Government’s Digital Planning Directory.
