Founded in 2019 by Managing Director Vicki Mordue, our business has grown into a 32-strong multidisciplinary environmental consultancy operating from Newcastle and Kent and supporting projects across the UK.
Over the past seven years, we have built a broad national client base that includes major residential developers such as Story Homes, Miller Homes, Bellway and Gleeson, alongside organisations operating across renewable energy, infrastructure and the wider built environment.
Joining Ecology Group gives Biodiverse Consulting access to a much wider network of ecological and environmental expertise while allowing us to retain the specialist knowledge, culture, relationships and approach that have shaped our business.
About Ecology Group
Established in spring 2025, Ecology Group brings together specialist ecological and environmental consultancies from across the UK.
Alongside Biodiverse Consulting, the Group includes MKA Ecology, Burton Reid Associates, Earth Active, Living Earth, Johns Associates, Wildwood Ecology, Mine Environment Management, Nicholas Pearson Associates, E3P, Urban Edge Environmental Consulting, Focus Environmental Consultants and Dynamic Rivers.
Together, Ecology Group now has annual revenues of more than £30 million and a team of around 350 specialists across a growing range of environmental disciplines.
For Biodiverse Consulting, becoming part of this wider network creates opportunities to collaborate across disciplines, regions and sectors, bringing together specialist teams around the individual requirements of increasingly complex projects.
It also provides further investment in our people, technology and capabilities, supporting the next stage of Biodiverse Consulting’s growth while preserving the independence, values and culture that have brought us this far.
Vicki Mordue, Founder and Managing Director of Biodiverse Consulting, said:
“I’m delighted that Biodiverse Consulting has joined forces with Ecology Group and its specialist consultancies. Collaboration is at the heart of everything we do, so the opportunity to join a wider network that matches our ambition and complements our values is hugely valuable for our team and clients.
“Working in partnership, I’m confident that not only will Biodiverse Consulting reach the next level of its growth journey, but its foundations, culture and values will remain an integral part of who we are and the way we work.
“I look forward to working with Ecology Group and our new colleagues as we step into this exciting new chapter.”
Philip Smith, CEO of Ecology Group, said:
“Biodiverse Consulting has built a strong and distinctive business around a clear belief that development and biodiversity can work together. Its understanding of the built environment, combined with its ecology, Biodiversity Net Gain, nutrient neutrality and landscape architecture expertise, makes it an excellent addition to the Group.
“Vicki and the team bring the technical knowledge, commercial understanding and practical approach our clients value. I’m excited to welcome them to Ecology Group and look forward to working together to drive the continued growth of both Biodiverse Consulting and Ecology Group.”
