About Us
Where we came fromIn 1973, Roger Tym saw the potential for a new kind of practice where economists inform the work of planners and planners inform the work of economists.
Roger established Roger Tym & Associates, bringing in other partners over time to take forward his concept of an innovative economic practice specialising in planning and development consultancy. We are now 80 professionals in six offices across the UK.
The firm's roots lie in the original Inner Cities Programme and the DoE's Research Programme, followed by the original Enterprise Zone Monitoring study in 1980. This early work established an ethos of high quality advice, founded on thorough research and grounded in sound analysis. That we continue to solve client's problems in this way is part of our DNA.
Our success is a direct result of the quality of the people we employ. We maintain a firm focus on our staff’s professional and personal well-being. Our approach is a personal one that relies on the quality of our work and the strength of our working relationships.
The firm remains a partnership. We are now a leading provider of planning, regeneration and economic development services. We bring sound, practical and innovative solutions to the complex problems faced by our clients.
