About us – Overview
The project is currently being staffed by a core management team of four augmented by leading experts in the fields of Planning, Law, Architecture, Quantity Surveying, Smart Technology, Cost Appraisal, Risk Assessment and Cost Management, who are providing appropriate professional services.
This number will increase as other professionals and specialists are integrated into the project to fulfil particular requirements, with the current team also being assisted by administrative and other functions as they (and the commensurate funding) become necessary and available.
The Management Team of the South Down Project have already started a programme of engagement with local businesses.
So far we have personally explained the Project to some 130 or so businesses, and the reaction has been universal approval.
One business has estimated that the project could bring an uplift of as much as 400% to their turnover.

As the project gathers momentum, further human, technology, production and other resource will be applied as required. In this regard, it is worth noting that the natural networks of the current management team have proved to be most fruitful, and the further application, and extension, of these natural networks will directly contribute to the resource needed to help achieve project goals.
It is anticipated that the initial funding of the project will be from private, company, institutional and appropriate funding streams, with the bulk of development finance be apportioned between a number of financial institutions, both from within, and outside, the UK.
