Roy Logan

roast my ed

honest, unvarnished truth from the trenches of economic development and regeneration

I’m not here to blow smoke or pad your ego. I’m here because this field matters, and frankly, too many people are doing it badly

Roy Logan here. Thirty years in the economic development trenches, and I’ve seen it all—every half-baked incentive scheme, every consultant who couldn’t find their posterior with GPS and a flashlight, every ‘innovation district’ that’s really just expensive real estate with Edison bulbs.

Serious about getting results?

Fair warning: I don’t do corporate speak, I don’t sugarcoat, and I definitely don’t have time for another ‘blue sky thinking’ session. But if you’re serious about getting results? I’m your guy.

No problem! Try my out for size, argue, challenge – I’m up for it!
