Experienced leadership. A practical working relationship.

A consultancy built around the work

We help councils and water service providers turn complex requirements into coordinated programmes and practical delivery. Our work spans strategic planning, asset information and systems, and the technical detail that supports sound decisions.

We lead programmes, develop plans, improve asset information and systems, and carry out technical work. That breadth helps connect leadership decisions with the practical steps needed to deliver them.

Led by Jennifer Carew

Jennifer brings experience across local government, asset management systems and private-sector consultancy. Her work connects strategic planning with the information, people and processes needed to deliver it.

Her background includes asset management systems and water services at Waipā District Council, followed by work with AssetFinda, Univerus, Clarita Solutions and COSOL. That combination gives her an understanding of both the client organisation and the systems and specialist support it relies on.

Leadership with delivery behind it

Videre works as an external adviser and within client organisations, taking the lead where the programme needs it. We stay involved in the work: coordinating delivery, developing outputs and helping resolve the issues that affect progress.

Each engagement has a clear scope and responsibilities. Where additional specialist input is useful, we can bring it into the programme while maintaining oversight and continuity.

An understanding of smaller teams

Videre focuses on smaller councils and water service providers, where specialist expertise and staff capacity can be difficult to secure.

We work alongside your people, taking their knowledge and existing commitments into account. Our approach is direct, approachable and practical, with clear responsibilities and a programme your organisation can understand, oversee and deliver.

A broader view of your assets

Alongside programme leadership, Videre provides asset information, mapping, drone and building-related services where they support the work. This brings practical asset knowledge into the planning and delivery process.
