About us
About Bilcor Group
Bilcor Group exists to make it simple for people to put their view on record about decisions that affect them, and to keep that record independent, fair and lasting.
Why we exist
Decisions are made every day by Parliament, councils and sports clubs. The people affected rarely get a simple, fair way to say what they think, and even more rarely see their view kept on record next to what was decided.
Bilcor Group builds platforms that change that. Each one asks plain-English questions about real decisions, gives every person an equal say, and keeps the results on record. We are not a campaign group and we do not push for any outcome. Our job is to make sure views are heard and recorded fairly, whatever those views are.
What we do
Bilcor Group is the parent company of a growing family of independent platforms. Today they are Common Ground UK for national policy, Common Ground Local for local decisions and Middle Ground Sport. Each one has its own name, its own website and its own data, and every one follows the same values and the same neutrality rules.
Founder
Steve Hatton
Not to win an argument. To find common ground.
Steve founded Bilcor Group in Kent. He spent nearly 30 years in operations and compliance management, where the job was to get the facts right, follow the rules properly and keep a clear record of what was decided and why.
He set up Bilcor Group believing that people agree on far more than public debate suggests, but that most views are never recorded anywhere that lasts. The platforms bring that same discipline to public decisions: fair questions, honest counting and a record anyone can check.
The name Bilcor comes from two family names, Bilby and Cooper.
How Bilcor Group is run
- Bilcor Group is privately owned by its founder.
- It takes no money from any political party, and no party, council, club or advertiser has a say in any result.
- Money can never buy a different question wording, a different count or a different result.
- Each platform keeps its own data separately, with its own privacy notice. Platforms do not share personal data with each other or with this site.
- Every platform follows the same values and the same neutrality rules.
