What People Say?

“Izzy recently completed a Great Crested Newt Survey for us. I cannot recommend Izzy highly enough. She was responsive from the first moment we got in touch with her. The service provided was excellent and she was flexible with her time to fit in with our requirements. The advice she gave was well informed and pragmatic. Overall working with Izzy was a pleasure and would certainly work with again.

What People Say?

I contacted Phillips Ecology regarding a bat survey to support a planning application for an extension. Communication has been excellent, and the price quoted the most economical compared to local ecologists. An appointment was booked swiftly, and the draft report sent even quicker with great advice and suggestions for supporting ecology within our development. We could not fault the service provided and would highly recommend them to potential customers.”
