Efficient Partners: project management, marketing and events in one!
Efficient Partners is a new company created to provide just that, Efficient Partners, to work with you and generally make things better.
We’ve taken charge of marketing strategies, we’ve overseen building projects, we’ve designed creative storage, we’ve organised balls, we created a newspaper.
We’ve planned, consulted & researched everything from policies and buildings to the people who use them. We’re creative, and experienced, and love a challenge.
Efficient Energy - first and foremost our background is in sustainable development and renewable energy so Efficient Energy builds on our past experience as Environmental Consultants. Working with our partners, we can provide you with the ultimate green team for projects from renewable energy installations and smart grids, through to low carbon building and associated research. We've become a dab hand at funding applications and tender writing!
Our lovely partner Kyle is on hand for technical support fro renewable technologies from installation design specification through to sizing and onsite construction, and is particularly familiar with community energy installations of an assorted nature. Along with our Efficient Partners at Scene Consulting, also community energy experts, we can make community energy simple and of course efficient (in every sense!).
Efficient Management is our Project Management core. We’re overly
enthusiastic when it comes to being organised and the management of projects is the centre of everything we do, from buildings to events, renewables to marketing, efficient management is what makes it all work.
Our Efficient Management experience has included, but is not limited to, overseeing domestic new builds and building renovations – from project management of the core building team through to interior and layout design. Indeed two of our favourite efficient partners are Richard and John of Mattwood Developments – superior building contractors with excellent banter and an eye for detail.
Efficient Publications was created to encompass a number of our own creative needs... We should make a newspaper (obviously), and, we need a website! And – we’re organising events, we should be able to create beautiful posters! And soon and so forth.
George Street News is our paper, created to promote independent businesses and entrepreneurial types, and to act as a medium for creative writers and artists to submit to. For the creative’s among us who need to write, it itches their palms in ways we won’t describe here (no need to scare people), and it’s increasingly difficult to get your work read and known. SO, we are endeavouring to publish the yet unpublished works of upcoming novelists, poets, screen play writers, photographers, painters.....
GSN is a monthly, full colour 24 page newsprint paper which we distribute
(2,500 copies of) around the centre of Edinburgh, although we’ve plans to get it further afield. Our advertising rates are low to be able to promote those wee independents) but we’re trying to ensure our design, thoughts and attention to detail are incredibly high – we wanted to create something pretty. We couldn’t do it on our own though and so we found ourselves alongside (literally, we share an office) Efficient Partners Nuovi Media – a bundle of bright young sparks and a mixture of web & graphic designers. As a team, what more could you ask for!
Efficient Events – possibly our favourite (we shouldn’t have favourites... but if we did this would be it...) of the Efficient areas of expertise. It encompasses all of our skills (and potentially even all of our partners depending how big we’re talking here!). We love to create, so give us a ball, a big dinner or better yet a festival and we’re bouncing off the walls.
Themes, music, food, we’re project managers at heart so bringing an event to life is second nature and so much fun. It also means we can get our Efficient Partners Donald (of Sound Systems) and Jess (chef and pop up restaurant extraordinaire on board, along with Alice at Rogue Flowers for those incredible floral displays which you just sometimes have to have.
Fund raising events, raffles, corporate entertainment, private functions, we can be your Efficient Partner whatever the occasion and requirements.
Efficient Philanthropy – our partners Toilet Hackers are a charity focused on improving sanitation around the world, with a focus on improving standards for girls in developing countries. They in turn have partnered with Sesame Street and the Girl Guides Association to implement health and hygiene training, toilet research (redesigning the toilet as we know it) and
to provide resources for established sanitation organisations. More soon!
