"Historic Royal Palaces staff were challenged and moved on by Stephen Feber's approach. While preparing for a Heritage Lottery Fund bid we identified a need for help with our thinking on the structure of stories and narratives at Kensington Palace. His team's input, using analysis of film, storytelling craft techniques and intensive group work provided a catalyst allowing us to produce polished work."

Jo Thwaites, Project Sponsor, Conservation & Learning Department, Historic Royal Palaces

"The Diana show was a success, and a new departure for HRP. The transformation of the lower areas in Kensington Palace was tremendous, sound and light filling a hitherto grey space."

David Souden, Head of Access & Learning, Historic Royal Palaces

"Throughout the development of Heartlands we have been delighted with the level of service received from Feber Carmichael. In developing a complex and ambitious proposal to tight deadlines they have ensured that all of our aims as client have been achieved to a high standard. Feber Carmichael have been able to work closely with ourselves and the local community to achieve an end product which is both striking in design, but importantly meets the key objectives of being financially, environmentally and socially sustainable for the benefit of the wider community. They have been able to draw on their experience of developing and actively managing a range of projects, with their vision and methods of planning in 'what works' an invaluable resource for any project."

Scott James, Heartlands Project Manager, Kerrier District Council


"Stephen Feber offers a lightness of touch and intellectually rigorous approach to cultural problem solving. He is very much a lateral thinker whose methodology, while fully engaging with the cultural mission, never loses sight of the sociopolitical imperatives. Stephen's understanding of the role of the arts in urban [or rural] regeneration initiatives is second to none, and his ability to assimilate and define the parameters and cultural dynamics of individual schemes provides realistic and inventive platforms in which to analyse and deliver innovative solutions."

Christopher Coppock, Director, Ffotogallery, Cardiff


"The 'Concrete Factory Workshop' set up by Stephen Feber for the NMSI Rapid City project in York was invaluable and extremely effective. As a consequence of the environment created by Stephen for the workshop, the client and consultant team were able to bond and produce work synergetically against the background of a tough and innovative brief. We believe the project and everyone involved continue to benefit. Difficult issues were resolved quickly, allowing the project to live up to its name!"
