About

Specialising in stakeholder management for infrastructure projects in planning and construction, and managing day-to-day stakeholder engagement at corporate level, Cadno can ensure that you are communicating with the right people, at the right time, in the right way. The Cadno team is experienced in dealing with large and complex developments, and has worked on a number of challenging proposals to get them across the winning line.

How we work

At Cadno, we want to develop creative and long-term relationships with clients and provide tools & techniques that are specific to their needs. We can work in a very hands-on way – leading the communications programme, meeting the stakeholders and providing feedback; or we can provide intelligence, advice, messaging and collateral to support your people on a communications programme led by them.

We are proud of the way that we work, our track record and high standards. We always follow closely rules of engagement set out in Codes of Conduct. 

Our aim is to make stakeholders feel comfortable and happy to discuss projects, to ask questions and to get involved in shaping the outcomes. We will never compromise our stakeholders, and we value our relationship with them.

We choose our clients carefully and will only work with companies who are doing good things to make the world a better place, and with people who share our values.

Proud members of the Public Affairs Board and Public Affairs Cymru. 

 We work in partnership with DeHavilland to bring clients succinct and timely political monitoring.

Pleased to participate in Cardiff University’s graduate work experience programme.

“We have worked with Cadno since 2013 across our onshore wind portfolio in Wales. They give us invaluable support and provide sound advice. The team is professional, competent, and tenacious, and they work with our project managers to deliver good quality local stakeholder engagement and public consultation.”

"The team at Cadno are exceptional – really, they are. The knowledge and insight they bring to the table is invaluable, allowing us to plan our approach with an attention to detail that makes the difference. Always with a willingness to help, their reassuring nature makes the team feel like an extension of our inhouse capabilities, ready to roll up their sleeves no matter the ask – and for me, that’s co-working at its best."

Mike Scott, Senior Communications Executive, Ogi

"The team at Cadno listened to what we needed and supported us with a bespoke package of work. This included planning and delivering a detailed communications plan, copywriting and supporting the development of the website. They were also a brilliant help with our in-person event. Throughout the contract period they really were a team member, with excellent attention to detail and keeping everything on track.”

Mererid Velios, Programme Development Officer (Plan for Neighbourhoods), Vale of Glamorgan Council

"Cadno have successfully tendered for work with Trydan and are fully delivering on the strengths their bids promised. In Wales they are well-connected, sensitive to local and national interests and needs, understanding of challenges and opportunities that communities and stakeholders navigate. This empathetic knowledge, and their professional experience combine to offer excellent advice and practical delivery as we design and undertake engagement and public consultation.”
