Culture & Heritage

In the heritage, arts and cultural sector, Locum blends a significant depth of sectoral expertise with broad-based management consulting disciplines to provide a unique range of destination services. Our focus is on the creation of economically sustainable destinations that meet and deliver their artistic, cultural and heritage missions. We work with clients to establish policy and strategy frameworks, develop business and operational plans, secure funding and execute capital development projects.

Critically, whilst on the one hand we have an innate understanding of the overriding aims and objectives of the sector, we also appreciate that there are mounting external pressures being put on this segment of the market. Faced with this dynamic, Locum uses its broad-based experience to facilitate communication, enhance learning and ultimately deliver sustainability.
