Zoo Consulting
A zoo, animal park, or sanctuary might consider a zoo consultant for many reasons. Sometimes specialist knowledge is required, or, although you are aware of a problem, you need an experienced co-ordinator, designer or visionary to implement solutions. In some cases, a fresh pair of eyes can see things you don't and can provide insight that helps resolve a variety of overt or covert issues.
As the zoo industry advances with new methodologies, scientific understanding and business development, it is important for the sake of your animals, staff and guests that you adopt new best practice, tailoring it to your style, culture, climate and setting. This applies whether you are a large zoo with an established pedigree, a small private wildlife park or anything in-between.
In the last ten years, public interest in animal welfare has increased dramatically, and guest expectations about a trip to the zoo have evolved far beyond seeing animals in natural enclosures, hearing an education talk and 'let's get something from the shop Dad!' Dysfunctional zoos have neglected to evolve and are now considered barbaric, pathetic and are, rightly, going out of business. Likely however, they didn't start out as poor zoos.
As visitor attractions in a vast and expanding sea of leisure options, zoos hold ace cards that no other attraction does. Zoos inherently possess the wow factor and the pixie dust that draws guests in, but if you want them to become loyal members who fund your research, active conservationists who help save species, patrons to your special events who bring new friends, and ambassadors for animals who grow up caring for wildlife, your zoo needs to know about and deliver on the things that matter to them. And at the same time, offer the absolute best possible care and stewardship of the animals.

Testimonial
Sammi Luxa Marketing Manager Noah's Ark Zoo Farm; Director of the Somerset Tourism Association, UK
Penny spent a lot of time speaking with all staff to get a thorough knowledge of the business and it's requirements. She spent extensive time with Team Leaders and spoke to all departments to find the best way to understand our needs and direction for us.
Penny became a trusted member of the team and was able to work with us to develop a new strategy and focus for the future to improve our business. This varied within different departments from animal training through to focusing on visitor experience.
It was a delight to work with her and we were impressed with her work and recommendations. Penny encouraged us to develop our own ideas, collaborate on decision-making and set business priorities but she orchestrated our involvement and instigated ideas and strategies for change. I would happily recommend Penny to any zoo looking to improve and develop to it's full potential.
