Environmental Consultant Services

Types of Consultants

There are as many environmental consultant services as there are environmental consultants

In general an environmental consultant helps an organisation to either comply with a specific piece of planning or permit regulation. Or, it helps an organisation understand it’s environmental impacts on the external world. Think energy use, waste production etc. There are other consultants that help with PR and corporate social responsibility and help to provide a positive external face to a particular business for communication reasons such as wanting to impress clients, banks or stakeholders.

Environmental Consultant Services

We can provide many of the services that are required for a permit application. Because we have been in the industry for over 30 years, we have a good network of associates listed above that we can call on for any type of permit or planning related work.

We regularly visit waste and industrial sites and evaluate the potential for running a waste or other regulated business at that particular location. If we require the services of another associate we tend to get these to work with you direct so that we provide a comprehensive consultancy service.
