Consultancy expands team with venture launch

An environmental consultancy has expanded its team with the launch of a new service.

Biodiverse Consulting has unveiled Biodiverse Brokering.

Described as a match-making service, bosses say the venture connects developers with landowners, supporting the Government’s housebuilding targets while ensuring responsible environmental stewardship.

The move has supported three new hires. 

Vicki Mordue, founder and director of Northumberland-based Biodiverse Consulting, said: “Over the past two years, a market has emerged in trading biodiversity and nutrient units. 

“This activity has been driven by new legislation that requires developments to positively impact nature.

“As these units of improvement cannot always be delivered on the development site, there are opportunities for them to be gained off-site by transforming areas of land into habitat banks. 

“This requires connections to be made between developers and landowners - and that’s where we come in.

“Biodiverse Brokering is being led by Harry Reed, who joined last summer. 

“He is supported by new team members Jacqui Kennedy and Francesca Oakley at our Dissington Hall headquarters, along with Liam Mattingley in our Kent office. 

“Together, they are driving this new national service forward.”

Harry added: “It’s been a pleasure to welcome Jacqui, Francesca and Liam to the team.

“Biodiverse Brokering is set to play an important role in mobilising development projects across the UK - it’s exciting to deliver such impactful work as part of a fast-paced and rapidly growing team.”
