About Us
Creative Services is an independent cultural consultancy practice founded in 1992 by current Director Bryan Beattie. Since then it has undertaken almost 200 short and long-term projects, from developing national cultural policy to writing television scripts.
We combine our experience as creative practitioners with that of seasoned administrators and offer a professional, experienced and approachable service tailored to the clients' requirements.
Our previous roles have included Expert Adviser to the Minister for Culture, development officer for local government, cultural ambassador, elected representative, teacher, BBC broadcaster, playwright, and television producer.
We're not shy to bring in the skills we don't have - we're fortunate to have a terrific range of regular associates that add different dimensions and experience to our work. It helps us provide a bespoke and truly creative service to all our clients.
