About Us.

Established in 2014, we’re a dynamic, innovative ecology consultancy with offices in Oxfordshire and the Cotswolds. All the ecology team are members (or applicants) of the Chartered Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management (CIEEM) and we’re a CIEEM registered practice.

What We Do.

We aim to help our clients achieve the best possible outcomes, in the most practical, cost-effective way.

Our growing team of 30 staff (as of July 2025) brings together a wide range of experience and specialisms to provide a comprehensive range of services from preliminary ecological appraisals (PEAs) through to shadow Habitats Regulations Assessments (HRAs), licence applications, design and implementation of habitat management and monitoring plans (HMMP) and species mitigation.

We are also leading BNG specialists, providing pragmatic advice and deliverable solutions.

Our sector expertise includes renewable energy, leisure and heritage, strategic land, minerals and waste management, commercial and residential developments and planning support.

Company Values.

Our company values are what makes us different.

Every member of the team is valued and:

We go the extra mile to achieve better outcomes for biodiversity
We are flexible and innovative, but we don’t compromise on quality
We implement evidence-based, best-practice survey methods and mitigation
Team members are challenged to grow and develop their talents/expertise

Company Culture.

We maintain a healthy, team orientated, supportive culture. Communication is key to all that we do, both with clients and across the company.

We prioritise the health and well-being of our staff. From encouraging people to take appropriate leave throughout projects and having inhouse mental health support, keeping our team safe, healthy and feeling valued are all part of our company ethos. Whilst quality and timeliness of surveying and reporting is core to our business, we like to have fun too.

Recently, pets have been encouraged into the workplace, although so far, it has been only well-behaved dogs that have made an appearance.
