We work closely with our clients throughout the duration of projects to ensure that we have a thorough understanding of their requirements and to achieve optimum outcomes. Our team is principally focused on Ecological Consultancy with growing departments in Arboricultural Consultancy and Landscape Design. This puts us in a strong position to provide collaborative consultancy services for projects, maximising outcomes and minimising delays.

• Proficient in Microsoft Office applications, particularly Microsoft Word and Outlook.
• Quick to learn and adapt to new systems and technologies, with the ability to become competent in business applications and processes rapidly.
• Previous exposure to finance administration, sales ledger, or credit control processes would be advantageous, although full training will be provided and prior experience is not essential.

• People-focused, with the ability to build positive relationships across the business.
• Confident communicator with strong customer relationship skills.
• Highly organised, diligent, and able to work independently.
