Accomplishments Across the Team

Oct 19, 2020

In May, Eleanor, our Senior Geoscientist and Rebecca, one of our Senior Hydrologists enrolled at Cranfield University on the ‘Nature-Based Solutions for Water and Land Management’ course. We are delighted to announce their successful completion, as they are now eagerly putting what they learned to good use! Here is what they had to say…


Eleanor

‘Envireau Water is great at supporting us to develop our knowledge and understanding through courses and memberships. I have really enjoyed being given the opportunity to learn more about nature-based solutions and look forward to implementing my learnings into future projects.'


Rebecca

‘The course covered a wide range of nature-based solutions from natural flood risk management to wastewater treatment wetlands. An added bonus was the diverse background of delegates on the course which created interesting and varied conversations around each topic. I am now looking forward to implementing all that I have learnt into up and coming projects!'


As a company, we pride ourselves in supporting our team’s continued development. Whether it’s short professional courses like these, MSc programmes, or getting involved in the wide range of activities available through professional bodies, they all contribute to our team being at the forefront of innovation within their specialist fields.


Want to learn more about nature-based solutions? Then take a read of, 'Is Natural Flood Management the New Normal?' Or do you already have a project in mind? Contact either Eleanor@envireauwater.co.uk or Rebecca@envireauwater.co.uk to see how we can help.

Shrewsbury: An Office Launch to Remember!

By Rachael Plant • 24 Apr, 2024
We have offices in Scotland, Derbyshire and North Yorkshire but there is one place that's been on our list for many years… Shrewsbury! Known to many as the ‘Hub of Hydrogeology’, it's only fitting that Envireau Water join the fold. Last week, we had the pleasure of celebrating the official launch of our new office with key individuals who have played pivotal roles in our expansion into Shrewsbury and fellow professionals from the local community. Dr Phil Ham , our managing director, commented, "We were thrilled to celebrate our launch with friends old and new. It's safe to say our team felt right at home, and were welcomed warmly into what can only be described as a thriving community of hydrogeologists.

Sophie Penman joins Envireau Water

We’re always excited to see our team grow, and we are pleased to welcome Sophie to the team. Sophie has joined the Scottish office, where she will begin her career as a Water Resources Consultant, working closely with our Senior Water Resources Specialist Harriet Robson and Principal Water Resources Specialist Tamsin Morey . Before joining us, Sophie completed an MSc in Environmental Technology with Integrated Water Management from Imperial College London, after completing a BSc in Physical Geography from the University of Edinburgh. During her master’s degree, she worked alongside Anglian Water as part of the Innovation Research Team where she was involved in several projects, including a nitrous oxide mitigation and modelling project at a water recycling plant. As a Water Resources Consultant, Sophie will be part of a range of projects involving water supply assessments, environmental permitting, water/nutrient neutrality strategies, data analysis and the delivery of reports to clients. Since joining the team, she has already been getting stuck into working on application packs and abstraction letters across a range of sectors.

World Water Day 2024: Create a Positive Ripple Effect with Water Stewardship

By Lauren Moore • 22 Mar, 2024
Water is a critical resource which needs careful management to achieve the right balance between the needs of the environment, people, and businesses. It forms the basis of sustainable development of societies worldwide, playing a vital role within energy, health, and food sectors as well as biodiversity conservation. However, communities around the world continue to face severe water scarcity, with the growing threats of population growth and climate change on our water supplies holding the potential to spark increasing global and local tension. So, what does it mean to be a good ‘water steward’? Water stewardship is more than just complying with local regulatory requirements and protecting your water supply. It requires a much wider understanding of the impacts of your water use, at both a site and catchment scale, and working collaboratively not only with regulators but with all stakeholders to address shared water challenges. This all starts by adopting the mindset that your water supply is just one small part of a much larger cycle.

Our team just keeps on growing and we are delighted to welcome David Banks as our newest member! Bringing a wealth of experience and expertise, nationally and internationally recognised David Banks joins the Envireau team as a Principal Hydrogeologist. We asked him about his impressive career: Can you share a bit about your background and what led you to join our team? 'I began my career with Thames Water as an Assistant Hydrogeologist in 1985 where I gained experience with Chalk hydrogeology, drilling, test pumping and geophysical logging, before working for the National Rivers Authority. Following this, I spent 6 years in Trondheim in Norway as a Hydrogeologist, before eventually becoming Head of Geochemistry and Hydrogeology. Whilst in Norway, I discovered the world of ground source heat pumps and thermogeology. On returning from Norway, I started working as an independent consultant and promoting heat pumps in the UK, before registering Holymoor Consultancy Ltd in 2008.
