An industry leader, agb Environmental continues to develop through a project focused approach
agb Environmental was established in 2009 to provide environmental management advice to the public sector. Building on the founder’s experience in land reclamation in the UK and British Columbia, the company has grown into a multidisciplinary environmental engineering specialist. agb Environmental now provides specialist services covering contamination, geotechnics, remediation, ecology, arboriculture, flood risk and waste management.
The company’s philosophy has been based on a sound understanding of our client’s needs, combining a project management orientated approach with the specialist and industry knowledge required to ensure our projects receive the right level of service – a philosophy that is instilled in our team daily.
When purchasing commercial land with the idea to develop, there are many considerations in regards to ensuring you’re making a worthwhile investment. Funding, location and change of usage are common factors, but environmental assessments can throw up cautions, and should be conducted before you commit.
agb Environmental argues ecology assessments are just as important as ever, after Governmental cutbacks look set to force the Environment Agency to reduce the advice it gives to developers. This may create a risk of ecology not being appropriately considered at the right time in a development.
agb Environmental’s Principal Arboricultural Consultant, Richard Parmee, discusses the origins of Christmas trees in the UK and the wide range of different tree species available. Choosing the right tree may be confusing with so many considerations: what makes one better than another; is it best to buy with roots; should it be grown in a pot; what should you do with it after Christmas; and is it better to buy an artificial tree instead?
agb Environmental’s Project Management service supports wider programmes of work
Established in 2009, agb Environmental has grown to become a multidisciplinary environmental engineering specialist, able to complete a wide range of technical surveys. This approach enables agb Environmental to save your project time and money whilst ensuring continuity throughout the project.
Always providing a high level of service, agb Environmental is proud to offer a Project Management approach to support larger and wider programmes of work. We work with our clients to provide, coordinate and deliver multiple or all environmental surveys and assessments on a project. With our mission to enable development, we aim to achieve this by supporting and co-ordinating your project taking into account the ‘bigger picture’ stance of the entire development.
Aspiring to a project team approach on all projects, agb Environmental provides several specialist experts to assist with works such as pre-planning, divestment, acquisition, construction tendering or as part of a planning application.
With many of the key environmental services in-house, agb Environmental also works with a range of carefully selected subcontractors and sub consultants to offer a more comprehensive service. By doing so, the experienced team is able to combine its services through a dedicated, trained and experienced agb Environmental Project Manager. This provides you with a higher level of service, great value for money and a lesser risk of complications, had the work been completed via individual companies.
Ideal for medium to large scale projects, multiple projects requiring various services, complex projects with numerous planning conditions or scoping projects to assist with development planning, agb Environmental’s Project Management Service can eliminate conflicting advice thereby reducing costly redrafting time.
Its ability to project manage is what sets agb Environmental apart. The team has invested in a Project Management structure to ensure you have a dedicated, trained and capable Project Manager working to enable your development.
Maintaining the philosophy ‘stay ahead or fall behind’
agb Environmental ensures an outstanding level of service from all levels of the business. Enforcing a ‘stay ahead or fall behind’ philosophy, the company ensures it is always expanding its skill set and knowledge base.
To support this, agb Environmental has played a leading role in the East Land Quality Forum, a professional body dedicated to improving the standards and quality of land based professionals.
Ensuring a safe, efficient and quality orientated approach. Recognising the importance of approved policies, AGB Environmental adheres to a strict high level of service, ensuring compliance to the required governing boards and beyond.

We are always seeking to hear from dedicated, professional, enthusiastic and loyal people, who are interested in working within a fast growing, result orientated atmosphere.
agb Environmental, as a business, guarantees regular feedback, significant growth potential, generous career development opportunities to the benefit of both the company and the individual and a rewarding team environment.
Whilst fast-paced and high energy, with very few ‘quiet days’ in the office, we are very selective of whom we employ, choosing only those who we believe will thrive in such an environment to ensure the culture of the company.
