Faulkland Associates Ltd.
Faulkland Associates Ltd. is an Oxford-based consultancy which specialises in stakeholder management and governance arrangements, engagement initiatives and related opinion research work - particularly where there are potential conflicts between risk-related policies and socio-economic or social issues.

We operate as a network of experienced specialists and associates, coordinated by a Director (David Collier) with a small support team. Our primary markets are UK government, the wider public sector, and stakeholders in the energy sector, nuclear power and radioactive waste management.

We also offer our resources more generally as a specialist subcontractor to other consultancies.
