Opportunities across the environmental, energy and built‑environment sectors continue to expand at pace. While the industry was once centred primarily on issues such as air and water pollution, today’s landscape is far broader and more dynamic. Growing public awareness, stronger regulatory frameworks and the global push toward net‑zero are driving increased demand for solutions in areas such as water quality, waste management, resource efficiency and environmental monitoring. At the same time, the greening of society is accelerating the development of sustainable products and services, from low‑carbon building materials to circular‑economy business models, creating new and fast‑growing markets.
Chris Hadley Consulting is one of a small number of specialist consultancies with a long‑established track record in this space. Over the past two decades, we have delivered a wide range of projects across the UK and internationally, giving us deep insight into how these markets operate, evolve and respond to policy, technology and investment trends. Our experience spans both established environmental services and emerging areas shaped by innovation and climate ambition.
Our key areas of interest and expertise include:
- Renewables and alternative power sources (e.g., solar, wind, bioenergy, hydrogen, energy storage)
- Energy efficiency (including industrial optimisation, low‑carbon heating, and building retrofit)
- Buildings and Facilities Management (from asset performance to sustainable operations)
- Building Automation (smart buildings, IoT‑enabled systems, and intelligent energy management)
- Air pollution solutions (monitoring technologies, filtration systems, emissions reduction)
- Water and wastewater solutions (treatment technologies, leakage management, water reuse)
- Waste management solutions (recycling, resource recovery, circular‑economy services)
- Contaminated land and remedial solutions (site investigation, remediation technologies, brownfield redevelopment)
- Sustainable technology and services (green innovation, eco‑design, environmental product development)
