Twelve new graduate ecologists have joined the Guildford-based consultancy, which also has offices in Leeds, Letchworth and Cardiff. An additional three more experienced consultants have joined the company: two arboriculturalists and a licensed bat specialist.
The 15 new members of staff bring the total number employed by Thomson Ecology, sister company Thomson Habitats (ecological contractors) and recently acquired
Thomson Unicomarine (marine ecology specialists) to over 100. With just over 50 staff at the beginning of 2010, Thomson has doubled its headcount in one year.
Thomson Ecology alone turned over £4.3million in its last financial year, an increase of 30% on the previous year.
Nancy Thomson, Managing Director of Thomson Ecology said, “We are delighted to welcome our new recruits and hope that they enjoy working with Thomson Ecology. Our aim from the start has been to offer a friendly, supportive and happy work environment and to invest significantly in the whole team’s personal and professional development. This means that we offer the highest quality service to our clients in all ecosystems: terrestrial, freshwater and marine. We were delighted to acquire Unicomarine last year and are pleased to be expanding our arboricultural and terrestrial ecological consultancy teams.”
