Leading environmental firm, SLR Consulting is celebrating moving
up the rankings in a survey of the UK's highest earning
consultancies after reporting a 17.6 per cent jump in planning
revenue over the last year.
The firm, which has offices in Shire Business Park, Worcester
also retained the UK's top spot in Planning magazine's ranking of
specialists in the Waste Planning and Minerals Planning sectors and
was ranked third in the Energy Planning category.
David Sandbrook, Head of the Planning & Estate Management
Team said: "The impressive percentage increase in our fee income
over that reported by our key competitors shows how planning
revenue at SLR has outperformed the industry average during the
economic downturn.
"We want to build on this success and are ready to respond to
the market when conditions for wider forms of development
improve."
Recent projects for SLR's planning team in Worcester include the
successful planning appeals for Tarmac Ball Mill and for
Walsall-based Jack Allen Holdings in Liverpool; as well as
producing the UK's first low carbon regional economic strategy
support tool for Advantage West Midlands in collaboration with DTZ,
which has been shortlisted for a national RTPI award.
