About Wren

The right-sized solution for the public sector

Why choose us?

Public sector organisations need transport planning and engineering support that understands their world - budget pressures, political sensitivities, statutory requirements, competing stakeholder demands, and the need for solutions that actually get delivered. We provide that expertise without the high costs and overheads of large consultancies or the narrow experience of contractors unfamiliar with public sector transport.

We understand from experience

Our team brings extensive experience from across a number of public sector organisations throughout the UK. We know how councils work because we've worked there - we understand the committee cycles, the political realities, and the governance processes that can make or break a project.

Public sector expertise

We've worked across every stage - writing funding bids, designing schemes, managing delivery, and supporting ongoing operations.

Practical delivery

We don't just design technically sound schemes - we help you deliver them within real-world constraints of budget, politics, and timescales.

Right-sized approach

The capacity and continuity of a team, with the flexibility and value of deep knowledge and experience.

Framework-ready

Procurement compliant and experienced working within public sector systems and processes.
