““Working with SJ Ecology & Environment has been a breath of fresh air. Emails were always responded to promptly, and we never had to chase for updates or worry about the ecological side of our projects. They don't just produce reports and leave you to it, they take ownership of the entire ecology process, dealing with requirements, answering questions and keeping everything moving. It's reassuring to know that side of our planning applications is in safe hands.””
