Testimonials

MPG have been invaluable to our business in gaining planning consents and environmental permits in a professional and timely manner. Their positive approach and well researched advice has been of great benefit over the past eight years. Long may this continue.

Mike Reay – AGGREGATE RECYCLING UK

We have now consulted with MPG in excess of 10yrs and during this time we have found the company to be extremely responsive, professional and confident. They have consistently demonstrated dedication and commitment in providing to ourselves a reliable and excellent service.

Andrew & Allison Calvert – AD CALVERT ARCHITECTURAL STONE SUPPLIES

I’ve worked with MPG on a number of different schemes, including solar farms, energy storage systems and horticultural developments. Chris’s advice on coal mining risk and land contamination is always straightforward and gets to the heart of any potential problems very quickly and usually within my tight timeframes! I have also recently received a call from the Environment Agency specifically to express how good they found a report by MPG, which is testament to their quality.
