Tricolor Associates are heritage development consultants specialising in National Lottery Heritage Fund projects and place-making and regeneration initiatives. In our ten year history we have helped over 100 clients deliver organisational change and community transformation through successful project development and delivery.
The Tricolor team brings a wealth of experience with many of us having worked on major funded projects in-house. Others have held senior positions within the Heritage Fund. Together, we have worked closely with a range of councils, heritage trusts, museums and volunteer-led organisations.
Not only do we have an impressive track record but our combination of passion and enthusiasm with meticulous project planning and management is what sets us apart from other heritage consultants. But don’t just take our word for it; we come highly recommended:
“I was very impressed with Tricolor’s comprehensive methodology and their thoroughly professional approach. They demonstrated a clear understanding of how their project’s work fitted into the strategic picture and how heritage and culture can drive regeneration.”
