Infrastructure and development projects shape economies, communities and political agendas.
Operating in regulated, high-impact environments, organisations must secure consent while managing scrutiny at national and local levels.
We advise on stakeholder strategy, public affairs and reputation across complex developments – integrating policy insight with structured engagement.
In projects where controversy can define outcomes, early clarity and disciplined narrative are essential to securing durable trust.
Burns & McDonnell is a US-headquartered energy engineering and construction firm entering the UK market to support investment in low-carbon infrastructure.
Luther Pendragon supported the establishment of the company’s first UK office in 2017, delivering integrated public affairs, media and thought leadership activity to build credibility and commercial momentum. We positioned Burns & McDonnell as a technically credible partner to UK energy stakeholders during a period of rapid system change.
Our work combined targeted digital campaigns aimed at senior decision-makers with political engagement at local and national level. We built a strong relationship with the Mayor of the West Midlands following the Birmingham office opening, supporting connections in Westminster and across the sector. This approach helped secure contract wins with National Grid and SSEN, a role on HM Treasury’s Green Finance advisory group, and recognition for the firm’s regional economic contribution.

We shape compelling narratives around economic growth, housing delivery and environmental stewardship, while building constructive relationships with councillors, planning officers, community groups and regional authorities in politically sensitive locations.
Our work strengthens trust, transparency and local understanding in challenging planning environments. By navigating complex community dynamics and aligning proposals with policy priorities, we help secure planning progress, reduce opposition and position Lands Improvement as a responsible, long-term development partner.
