Welcome to Groundwork South Essex
Groundwork South Essex
Groundwork South Essex is a charitable Trust within the
East of England Region. We aim to provide environmental solutions
to local authorities, schools, communities, businesses and a
variety of other organisations big and small.
Groundwork delivers projects through partnerships. We combine
in-depth environmental know-how with expert project management
skills to create partnerships that improve people's local
environment.

We are now monitoring our consumption of fuel and electricity
and minimising any waste and recycling as much as possible. We are
sourcing 'greener' products and we aim to purchase products
from sustainable sources (when available) and looking to use
suppliers with environmental credentials.

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.
