GroundFirst was formed from the simple desire to provide high quality, personable environmental consultancy that is fit for the 21st century.
Having previously worked for various multinationals our team is committed to offering something new. Our vision is to combine the expertise and know-how of the larger firms with the service levels and responsiveness of the smaller players.
We believe that experience and passion are key to providing the right support; all aspects of our work are therefore delivered by senior consultants.
In support of our core team we have developed a network of talented associates. These are experts in their field that we know and trust.
From the start the GroundFirst team has placed an emphasis on trust, pragmatism and clear communication. We continue to tackle our client’s environmental issues using these basic principles. Whenever possible we do this with a smile.
