Consultancy Services named as approved provider for Governments Mutual Information Service

Fusion21 have been appointed as an approved support provider for the Mutual Information Service.

The Cabinet Office wants to encourage the creation of innovative alternatives for public service delivery by making it easier and more attractive to set up public service mutuals. Across many service areas, a new right to form employee-owned mutuals will empower millions of public sector workers to become their own boss and help them deliver better services in partnership with the communities in which they work.

On 17 November 2010, Minister for the Cabinet Office, Francis Maude, announced that Local Partnerships, Co-operatives UK and the Employee Ownership Association have come together in partnership to provide a signposting service for staff in the public sector interested in setting up a social or mutual enterprise, the Mutuals Information Service.

Fusion21 Consultancy services have been appointed as an approved support provider that can work with organisations in the implementation and creation of innovative public service delivery alternatives.

John Gregson, Consultancy Services Director at Fusion21 commented, “Public Service Delivery is going through a period where radical changes are being proposed.  The Mutual Information Service offers public servants the guidance and support they will need to transform their service delivery, to become sustainable and to focus on the provision of the services their clients need without the stultifying restrictions they may face in a large traditional public sector bureaucracy. 

Fusion21 are pleased to be in the position to offer focused, empathetic and pragmatic advice to help the public servants to become community servants running their own mutual enterprise.”
