Parker Bay works with charities, community organisations, universities, governments and major institutions to deliver strategy, governance and long-term development at every level. Founded by Greg Fenton — Scotland’s CEO of the Year 2023 and formally recognised by the Scottish Parliament — Parker Bay operates from Dundee and London with clients across Europe, the US, the Middle East and Asia.
Our work is defined by three principles: Strategy. Impact. Trust.
Parker Bay Consultancy supports charities, social enterprises and community organisations to build strong governance, secure funding, strengthen leadership and deliver sustainable impact.
Parker Bay Capital works with universities, governments and institutions on major programmes, feasibility work, business cases, organisational reviews and long-term investment planning.
Across both arms, our work has contributed to millions in funding and strengthened organisations in sport, education, health, community development and wider social impact.
Parker Bay provides clarity, structure and senior-level insight — helping clients move forward with confidence and deliver meaningful results.

Trusted and Professional
Parker Bay operates with full professional insurance across both Consultancy and Capital, giving clients complete confidence in the work we deliver. We uphold recognised UK and international standards in safeguarding, due diligence, governance, data protection and anti-fraud compliance — ensuring every project meets the expectations of global funders and public bodies.
We maintain active membership with respected sector bodies, including the Chartered Institute of Fundraising (MCIOF), the CLD Standards Council for Scotland, SCVO, and the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
Experienced and Proven
Parker Bay works across the full breadth of the sector — supporting small community organisations, national charities, universities, major institutions and government bodies.
Our team brings direct leadership experience in strategy, recruitment, programme development, operational delivery and high-value fundraising. We also lead major capital programmes from first idea through to feasibility, investment strategy, stakeholder engagement and delivery, coordinating specialist partners where required.
Our portfolio includes successful bids to national and international funders, United Nations-aligned programmes, government funding and large capital schemes — consistently performing strongly against HM Treasury’s Green Book criteria. Clients benefit from a single, senior point of leadership guiding the full process.
