We are delighted to welcome both Emma and Phoebe to the team and the returning Rachel back into the fold. It is fantastic that we have been able to expand in line with our business goals. The Finance Manager is a major addition to the team and provides an indication that as a business we now require this specialist role.

Rachel will slip seamlessly back into the team providing geo-environmental expertise which has been enhanced from her further education.
