Training

I have recently been in close contact with Richard of Richard Green Ecology during some business negotiations. Richard has always made himself available, responded to emails and any queries promptly and he obviously runs his business with efficiency and a very high standard of professionalism.

We found Richard Green a pleasure to work with. He was extremely proficient in reacting to our urgent request for help with an awkward planning situation where we needed a proactive approach from an ecology expert. Richard provided some very valuable initial advice over the phone and email and then was on site in a matter of days, meeting our team and assessing the requirements. Richard's draft report was thorough when it came back after a few days following the site visit and was able to be finalised very quickly. We have since received very positive feedback from the local authority around the suitability report and approach Richard recommended in his report. We would certainly be happy to recommend Richard and his team to other clients who are looking to appoint a specialist consultant in this field for their project.

I have been working with our environmental business partner this week and I was showing him what we did within the project. I got feedback about your company and your work. He said they were the best eco reports ever – really clear, direct and very professional. We agreed that you would always be the first point of contact for all of our sites!

Thank you very much for forwarding on the survey so quickly, it was very efficient of you. Thanks for a first class service.

As a busy RIBA Chartered Practice we need the support of local professionals who can deliver their work accurately and in a timely fashion. Richard Green Ecology has always provided us with the very best service for all our ecology requirements, they are extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of an ecological nature and they use this knowledge to provide surveys and reports which we can use both to inform our clients and, more importantly, to accompany our planning applications. The staff are also helpful and responsive and I would not hesitate to recommend Richard Green Ecology to any professional or domestic client.

Richard Green Ecology is our preferred ecological consultancy. They provide a fast and efficient service, and demonstrate an excellent knowledge of planning related ecological issues and practical mitigation solutions. Their client focussed and cost-effective approach is invaluable when dealing with ever-increasing planning requirements relating to ecology and biodiversity.

I’ve worked with Richard for several years and, as well as being an acknowledged bat expert, he is an ecologist with a wide range of experience of other species and habitats and in the preparation of documents. I’ve always found that Richard responds promptly and efficiently to requests for information and has a positive and pragmatic approach, when helping to resolve often conflicting environmental issues, which is always a benefit to any project.

We have used Richard Green Ecology to carry out wildlife surveys and offer advice on a number of different highway schemes. By engaging them early in the design process we have been able to minimise the surveys required. This in turn has reduced the timescales involved and reduced costs.

Richard Green Ecology have acted for us on a number of schemes and have provided us with prompt, clear and useful advice on ecological issues. I would be happy to recommend them to clients.

We have always found Richard Green to be very quick to respond to queries, coming to site visits and producing reports after a site visit, and practical in finding ways to preserve bats and roosts and keep within the law while facilitating building works and programmes.
