| Our Clients Say.....

A huge thanks to Dan and the team for supporting us with our project from design phase through to completion. The attention to detail, organisation and communication demonstrated by Gosling Consulting has delivered an end result of the highest quality and to our exact requirements.

The support provided by Dan and the team at Gosling Consulting was fantastic throughout the project. Dan was professional, punctual and methodical in his approach, always on hand to provide advice and guidance when required. Dan is very knowledgeable and his easy going personality made him welcoming and approachable. It was a pleasure to work with Dan on this project. As the external project lead Dan was able to quickly build positive relationships with the design team and contractor and was able to maintain this right to the end (even through the difficult times!). Nothing was too much trouble and he would always strive to go out of his way to get things done. I would have no hesitations in recommending Gosling Consulting. Thank you for your support.

As the Strategic Lead for Future Investments for Chorley Council and South Ribble Council during the period of 1999-2022, I worked with Gosling Consulting on multiple projects including Leyland Town Deal and Worden Hall Refurbishment. Gosling Consulting provided exemplary project management and cost management services. They provided 100% commitment to the schemes demonstrating an excellent understanding of the schemes, the risks associated with the construction, whilst balancing these with the competing demands within local authorities.

I can highly recommend the services of Gosling Consulting Ltd. The service that we have had on our projects in Kirkham and St Annes has been exemplary in challenging circumstances. Dan and the team have helped us enormously to drive our project delivery objectives and we look forward to carrying on our working relationship.

Lancaster Royal Grammar employed the services of Gosling Consulting Limited to provide cost planning and management services for a project to create a new laboratory in our science department. We received an excellent, professional level of service, with an added level of personal attention which ensured that our aspirations, needs and constraints were fully understood. Our project was delivered on time and on budget thanks to Dan and his team. I would have no hesitation in recommending Gosling Consulting Limited and we look forward to working with them again on future projects at Lancaster Royal Grammar School.

As the Service Lead for Commercial and Assets at Chorley Council, I worked with Gosling Consulting on the delivery of the Chorley Covered Market refurbishment. As a local contractor, GCL demonstrated a real interest in the project being a success and having pride in the outcome. The project was delivered throughout the Covid period which, whilst allowing opportunities for access during lockdown, also posed supply chain and cost challenges for the team to deal with. As a client we were always well informed and kept abreast of cost and programme implications and the team were agile enough to respond to the challenges encountered throughout the works. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Gosling Consulting.
