Environmental Consultants

The team behind our tailored sustainability solutions 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tomson Consultancy is more than an environmental consultancy; we are a team of experienced and dedicated engineers, ecologists, and consultants with offices in Sheffield, London, and Scotland. 


While the Tomson Consulting story spans industries, customer bases and experiences, our team of environmental consultants are ultimately brought together by a shared passion for the environment and a commitment to practical solutions. We combined cumulative decades of experience in science and engineering to deliver comprehensive strategies, tailored to your unique needs and goals.

Why work with our team of environmental consultants?

 We provide data-driven solutions
Each one of our services, be it arranging a biodiversity plan for a land developer or a decarbonisation plan for a large-scale manufacturer, is rooted in raw hard data. Whether it happens to be a net reduction in tonnes of CO2 or operational costs, depending on your needs or situation, you can expect a definitive before-and-after when you work with Tomson Consulting. 
 Our approach is completely collaborative
Far from offering one-size-fits-all packages, each one of our services is completely tailored to your individual business, property or land. This doesn't just determine the actionable steps we recommend, but the standards we tailor the plan towards and the timeline we set out. 
 We possess deep industry knowledge
No business is too small, too large or too niche to take advantage of our consultations. The wide range of experience and qualifications we draw upon means we're as well-equipped to provide our services to small office buildings as we are to larger corporations or even non-profits.
