Neil Johnson

Director of Economic Growth. Chesterfield Borough Council

‘Thomas Lister provided a broad range of technical services and quickly developed a track record for successfully resolving the most challenging of projects, achieving results that exceeded all expectations.  Castleward was the very first CPO being undertaken by the Council. Rachel’s knowledge of CPO was applied to dealing with all of the affected businesses with absolute professionalism and empathetic manner, which enabled a comprehensive relocation strategy to be devised and approved by the Council. Rachel and her team were highly efficient and effective throughout a sometimes difficult and emotive process, where businesses were being displaced and many were worried about surviving the process.’
