ADAS A+ competition winner

When A+ was launched a competition was set up for all new registrants. We are pleased to announce that the competition winner was Malcolm Wooldridge from Scottish and Southern Energy Plc. Malcom is pictured with ADAS Senior Ecologist Peter Hancocks and ADAS Director of Sales and Marketing Martin Buckland.

The competition prize was £2,500 worth of environmental consultancy.  Using their prize, Scottish and Southern Energy commissioned ADAS to carry out an EcoCheck field survey and Tree Preservation Order, ecology and archaeology desk studies of a proposed 132kV underground cable route between Iver in Buckinghamshire and Slough in Berkshire. The results of the field survey and desk studies were delivered in a single report which highlighted constraints that were indentified and recommended ways to mitigate the impacts.

Malcolm said of ADAS….

“I was genuinely surprised and very pleased to have won the draw.

“My experience is that ADAS is easy to deal with and client orientated. The job gets done promptly and the advice received from the ecologist surveyors is both clear and unequivocal. Advice received helps Project Managers to revise their plans in a timely manner where revision is considered necessary and suggestions for mitigating actions are provided where appropriate.”

“I look forward to working with ADAS again in the future.”
