About PlaceSense
We’re passionate about places. The towns, neighbourhoods, and cities where people live, work, connect, and play.
At PlaceSense, we believe every place has its own story: its strengths, challenges, and opportunities.
Our role is to help uncover those stories and turn them into plans and actions that make a real difference.
Founded by Andrew Alsbury, PlaceSense is built on his more than twenty years’ experience across central and local government, development, and industry. Andrew has helped design and deliver multiple national £1bn+ programmes; developing business cases, funding models, and partnerships that turn vision into delivery.
We work with a network of trusted partners to bring the right mix of skills to every project. Scaling up when needed, staying lean when it matters, and always keeping your place at the centre.
Why PlaceSense
Because bringing the best out of every place takes more than good intentions. It takes clear thinking, trusted collaboration, and follow-through that lasts.
When you work with us, you get experienced perspectives, open conversation, and advice that’s both practical and personal. We combine evidence, experience, and genuine partnership to help you move from insight to impact
How We Work
Clarity
We focus on what matters. Simplifying the complex, cutting through jargon, and communicating in plain language so decisions are clear and confident.
Connection
We believe progress happens through people. We work collaboratively and personally, building relationships and shared aims with every client and partner.
Commitment
We stay with you for the long term. Helping you make things happen, stay on track, and measure the real impact.
