"I commend Stephen to you unreservedly...

He has helped shape the (Heartlands) scheme over the last four years, taking a central role in raising the funding, shaping its creative vision and developing its Business Plan and organisational structures.

Few in the field have Stephen's combination of experience and understanding of what it takes to drive a project forward from the first ideas to the finished product. He has a refreshing grasp of how cultural and commercial values can, and should, be reconciled."

Deborah Boden, Cornish Mining World Heritage Site Co-ordinator

"Stephen Feber has acted as Creative Adviser for us in developing a futures based exhibition entitled 'Senseable Cities'. For a history museum, talking meaningfully about the future demands a new approach and access to external sources of content and knowledge.

Stephen has brought to our project his wide ranging knowledge and interest in urban futures and synthesised this with his experience of narrative building for museum audiences.

His involvement has been of crucial importance, a mixture of hard nosed practicality and intellectual insight."

Sam Mullins, Director, London Transport Museum

"Stephen Feber has been helping us re-examine the mission and purpose of the Imperial War Museum. In a series of creative development workshops, a team of Directors and senior managers has been examining the organisation across all its dimensions: exhibitions, education, finance, marketing, collections and new media. We have found working with Stephen challenging and energising. He brings an exceptionally wide range of expertise and techniques to the workshops which we've found invaluable. He's made an exceptional contribution to our development."

Diane Lees, Director General, The Imperial War Museum

"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 Stephen Feber. In developing a complex and ambitious proposal to tight deadlines he has ensured that all of our aims as client have been achieved to a high standard. Stephen has 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. He has been able to draw on his experience of developing and actively managing a range of projects, with a vision for 'what works' - an invaluable resource for any project."

Scott James, Heartlands Programme Director, Cornwall 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!"
