Testimonials

'In Hillingdon we had made significant progress in improving the value for money profile of our passenger transport services, including home to school transport, and were at the stage of reviewing and moving in to the next stage of our programme.  Following an initial discussion with Edge we committed to them undertaking a review/scoping of our progress and future plans.   What became evident very soon was the level of expertise they bring to understanding requirements and opportunities, which were reflected in their recommendations which considerably superseded our medium term financial forecast assumptions. We asked them to build a commercial proposition for us to consider, which would see Edge managing the transformation for us; the result was an impressive and comprehensive proposal, with a very clear profile of benefits realisation plotted along the timeline and resulting in a significantly lower cost operation. They are now working with us to implement those recommendations and are making excellent progress.'

Tony Zaman - Corporate Director, Adult, Children & Young People Services, London Borough of Hillingdon

'EDGE have delivered substantial savings for the Council and that was very welcome, importantly they have also developed our internal teams and ensured that quality and training has improved for our transport suppliers. Particularly pleasing for me is that we have been able to reinvest some of the savings to deliver travel training to a number of our children with special needs which will have a huge impact on their daily lives. The whole EDGE package has worked really well for us.'

Andrew Thomas, Head of Education & Commissioning, Neath Port Talbot Council

'EDGE Public solutions worked with us for 3 months to undertake an opportunities review on the potential for Bridgend County Borough Council and South Wales Police to collaborate on Fleet services. The review was challenging due to the diversity of the organisations and timescales for delivery were tight. I was impressed by the knowledge and experience of the consultants and their commitment and flexibility in delivering a powerful business case which was approved by both organisations. Additionally - I found the consultants friendly and easy to work with. '

Jessica Matthews, Bridgend County Borough Council and South Wales Police
