What our customers say.

“ The senior architect became a core member of the project team. He added significant value to our project, bringing a vital layer of technical insight, analysis and expertise. He quickly got to grips with the key issues for our stakeholders and successfully conveyed his findings to our mainly non-technical audience through strong visuals and clear messaging. ”

“We commissioned Exception to deliver an options appraisal, in particular they managed the agile delivery to a tight timescale and provided technical input to the exercise. They worked well with the Scottish Government team and the final report presented a well-argued, evidence-based recommendation for the next steps. On the basis of the report, senior management were very keen to proceed with the next stage of the project. ”
