News

Groundwork East of England resource efficiency work with small businesses is going from strength to strength. Our small environmental business team is working flat out and it is likely that we will need to grow our team and increase our capacity.  The focus of our work currently is providing energy audits, but we have growing interest in water and waste as well as broader support demands for Environmental management schemes.  See vacancies section if you would like to register an interest in being involved in our work.
