Testimonials
Crusaders / Giant Park
"Copius Consultancy have been our professional advisors in developing the shared, community Stadium and Sports Village in North Belfast, a visionary and ambitious £35 million project proposed by Crusaders FC and Newington FC. Copius developed the initial business plan and led the submission of a £14.2m bid to SEUPB."
"We have found Copius to be thoroughly professional and committed, producing high quality work, often to tight deadlines. They have an unparalleled knowledge of the sports, culture, arts and leisure policy environments, as well as being networked into key business, economic development and regeneration thinking. The ability of Copius to work easily in the public, private and 3rd sector is impressive, equally comfortable with small groups and 'start-ups' to large scale initiatives."
"Copius recently delivered to Crusaders FC grant aid for a state of the art, 4G (fourth generation) surface under Sport NI's Places for Sport' programme – the first senior professional league club to experiment with artificial surfaces. In short, I would have no difficulty whatsoever in recommending Copius to any prospective client."

Peel Institute
During our work with Copius Consulting they have demonstrated an in-depth knowledge of the voluntary sector and the pressures voluntary groups face in delivering and developing services. They have a clear understanding of the role the voluntary sector can play in delivering statutory services and the ability to help groups to negotiate and consult with statutory partners to ensure that the needs of community groups are heard and acted on, developing community capacity to influence service provision and funding streams. Their professionalism and commitment to projects has helped ensure a wide range of partners with conflicting needs have been actively engaged, with excellent communication and a positive can do approach helping to develop and maintain much needed partnerships between groups, both statutory and voluntary'

EC1 NDC
Copius were faced with a very difficult task when we appointed them to develop a business plan for our local partnership of youth organisations. Getting agreement and buy-in from a vast and varying range of stakeholders was never going to be easy, but I’m pleased to say that Copius were more than up to job. Their hands-on consultative approach was critical in gaining the trust of all parties. Thanks to Copius we now have a partnership model which is very well suited to the needs of both statutory and voluntary youth groups in EC1.
