Norse Group partners with local government to strengthen communities, support local priorities, and boost local economies.
Local government
Delivering the spaces and services communities need to thrive
Supporting local priorities
Expertise within this sector
Norse Group has long-standing partnerships within local government, delivering essential services that support communities, strengthen local capacity, and reflect public sector values. From property maintenance and facilities management to waste and environmental services, cleaning, and care, we work side by side with councils to deliver practical, reliable solutions.
Our joint venture model gives local authorities greater control, shared accountability, and a sustainable alternative to traditional outsourcing, ensuring that public money stays in the community and services are shaped around regional priorities.
Supporting councils through local government reorganisation
Local government reorganisation (LGR) comes at a time of stretched budgets, rising demand, and a national skills shortage, putting real pressure on local authorities. But change also brings opportunity. LGR offers a chance to rethink service delivery, making it more resilient, efficient, and responsive to local needs.
Born from the public sector, Norse is committed to supporting councils through this transformation. By working in genuine partnership, we can build services that are not only efficient but truly aligned with local needs.
