Based in the West Midlands, Kinver Business Solutions is positioned as a central business within the UK. The consultancy is available for all manners of project and programme management services for the Midlands and the surrounding areas. This small and highly specialist team approach every one of their clients with respect and hands-on experience in public sector governance, funding, procurement, projects, and programmes in a way that guarantees success. Before the global pandemic, Kinver Business Solutions was appointed by the Wicksteed Charitable Trust through their business reorganisation. Although the team worked free gratis for a period of time, as the trust needed support, this company helped the trust to receive an excess of £500,000 of revenue grants from the National Lottery Heritage Fund. The trust was then able to survive the challenges of this difficult time to continue managing the biggest green open space in Kettering – which the charity has done since 1921. Working with clients of all sizes and backgrounds, Kinver Business Solutions has completed many projects which have been soaring success stories. From City of Wolverhampton Council to Oxford City Council, Ashfield District Council to Rethink Mental Illness, and many more, the consultancy has flexed its creative and organised muscles to work to budgets, needs, and visions. Managing Director Darowen Jones is an integral member of the tight-knit team. Residing in the very beating heart of the business, Darowen has a wealth of experience as an assistant director of PFI, and contracts manager at The Riverside Group since 2008 – where he was responsible for the management of £300m of PFI projects across Housing, NHS, and MoD sectors – prior to founding Kinver Business Solutions in 2014. He was also a programme manager for Wolverhampton City Council Towns Fund, he added: “I worked for Future High Streets and across levelling up programmes as well as leading Oxford City Council’s project that looked to respond to the Grenfell Tragedy. There we steered the council to be one of the first to strip dangerous cladding from their 5 high rise residential blocks.” Having guided this company over the last 10+ years, Darowen is always “listening and taking the opportunities to discuss aspirations with my network and this was invaluable in those early years as I was able to understand how better to explain the business’s unique selling points and therefore leverage further work with new or existing clients,” he shared. Speaking of his dedication to his overall mission, he continued: “My passion is for delivering quality service standards to customers whilst ensuring the achievement of stringent targets. A key aspect of my role is a strong focus on managing, motivating, training and developing a successful and productive team that can thrive in highly pressurised and challenging working environments.” With regards to Darowen’s own personal growth and leadership approach, he said: “Each day really is an opportunity to do better than yesterday. Whether that is about improving our offer to clients, further mentoring and development opportunities for the team or increasing my own knowledge. My diary is regularly planned out each day, but it is extremely rare that I don’t have time available during the day to be able to touch base with the team.” The team at Kinver Business Solutions is due to explore “significant opportunities on the horizon in the sectors that we work within.” Furthermore, social housing is about to go through a development renaissance as it will be the catalyst to achieving the government’s 1.5m homes target. Regeneration is riding the cusp of a wave with programmes such as Towns Deal, Future High Streets and Levelling Up still spending significant levels of public and private sector funding. Responding to in demand areas, such as social housing and regeneration, coupled with the anticipated increased market access following the implementation of the Procurement Act 2023, “Kinver will continue to outperform its growth ambitions whilst maintaining excellent customer service and delivering transformational schemes for the communities that it works within.” Contact Kinver Business Solutions today for more information on how you can improve your project and programme management for seamless developments and regenerations.
