About Us
Let's Get Britain Building, Growing and Prospering Together
TYI’s expertise and services reflect our mission as a pro-growth, pro-abundance, research-focused political consultancy dedicated to creating a secure and prosperous United Kingdom.
We are committed to supporting strategically important sectors with a team that has decades of experience in the public and private sectors, working across housing, strategic planning, local to national government, defence, public affairs, advocacy, development of advanced technology, cutting edge research, and policy development.
TYI is reflective of the broad spectrum of politics in the UK, helping clients with insight and engagement with politicians from all backgrounds and at all levels. We stand as the first organisation to have a published paper with contributions from Members of Parliament from the Labour Party, Conservatives, Liberal Democrats, and Reform UK – demonstrating our drive to create political consensus on the need to rebuild Britain and create a more abundant society.
Having been established in March 2025 we have already had a major impact on public policy from our input into the farming profitability review to being cited in the final report from the New Towns Task Force. We are led by industry and outcome driven for the organisations we work with to deliver real sustainable change that improves our economy and raises living standards in the UK.
We are looking for new pro-growth, pro-abundance partners to develop ideas and help support on a project or retained basis. To find out more, get in touch.
