# Genecon
Genecon is a Leeds-based placemaking and economics consultancy specialising in regenerating UK towns and city centres. The firm works with public sector organisations, local authorities and social enterprises to develop sustainable economic strategies and secure funding for place-based transformation projects.
The consultancy serves organisations seeking to revitalise struggling towns and city centres through data-driven insights and creative problem-solving. Their clients range from neighbourhood boards to major housing associations, typically pursuing government funding opportunities like the Levelling Up Fund and Pride in Place Programme.
What distinguishes Genecon is their integrated approach combining three core competencies: rigorous economic modelling aligned with Green Book standards, strategic place development informed by social impact analysis, and environmental sustainability integration. Rather than offering generic consultancy, they embed themselves in local contexts, blending quantitative financial analysis with qualitative understanding of community needs and economic realities. Their team applies "intelligent, creative and critical thinking" to translate abstract policy objectives into viable investment cases and implementable strategies.
Recent work demonstrates their capability across diverse geographies and project scales. They secured £10.2m funding for Barnsley's cultural facilities, led a comprehensive energy retrofit evaluation for Wales's largest social landlord, and developed multi-year regeneration strategies for suburban town centres. This combination of securing substantial public investment, designing innovative local mechanisms for town centre management, and building lasting stakeholder engagement positions them as trusted advisors to places serious about sustainable regeneration.
