Thomson Environmental Consultants has announced a series of new contract wins of over £2.8 million. The projects will support both long-term environmental monitoring and nationally significant infrastructure developments across the UK.
Headquartered in the UK, Thomson Environmental Consultants is an independent environmental advisory firm, supporting a range of businesses to comply with regulations and helping them work towards the best outcome possible to benefit both them and the natural world. The firm boasts in-house expertise in terrestrial ecology, marine services, freshwater ecology and management, marine laboratory services (invertebrates, fish and sediment analyses), habitat creation and management, geospatial data management and mapping, arboriculture consultancy and contracting, and landscape architecture.
Key wins
As demand for environmental consulting continues to grow in the UK, and further afield, Thomson Environmental Consultants has enjoyed a series of new contract wins, including a number of government-backed monitoring roles. Among them, £1.45 million of landscape scale assessments for long term land use change monitoring.
Other projects include coastal habitat change assessment as part of a wider central government monitoring programme, and invasive species monitoring, contributing to surveillance across England. Thomson has also been commissioned to deliver ecological survey and mitigation services for major infrastructure schemes. These include over £600,000 of ecological surveys as part of a major road scheme upgrade in the north, and over £300,000 for habitat and protected species surveys across two nationally significant energy infrastructure projects.
Further contracts include ecological survey and mitigation for a coastal realignment scheme for a national contractor and survey work for a grid electricity upgrade in London together totalling more than £200,000.
Ramping up
Daniel Reynolds, director of business development at Thomson Environmental Consultants, commented, “These project wins demonstrate the breadth of our capabilities and our ongoing commitment to delivering high-quality environmental services across multiple sectors, including delivering high-quality monitoring that supports national policy, to scaling up for complex infrastructure schemes across energy, transport and flood resilience.
To support delivery, Thomson has expanded its team and continues to recruit ecologists and project managers at multiple levels. The company’s recent hires include a project manager in the ecology team to oversee large mitigation projects and a Principal Ecologist in the Birmingham team as part of expanding commitments on major projects.
Reynolds added, “The diversity and scale of this work are exciting for our teams and are crucial to our long-term growth. As the UK transitions towards clean energy and climate resilience, we’re proud to be a trusted partner to government bodies and national infrastructure providers alike.”
