Public and third sector

We have experience working with over 150 local authorities across London and key regional centres throughout the UK.

Overview

Carter Jonas works with over 150 local authorities, public-sector and third-sector organisations, providing specialist consultancy and strategic services to central and local government, health, education, blue-light services, regulatory authorities and charities.
