Company Background
The company was established in Hexham, Northumberland over four years ago by Tim Elliott FRICS as part of a larger group of environmental consultancies. It quickly grew to include a geo-environmental scientist, environmental manager and a CAD and GIS technician and as the work load increased, further experienced technical, scientific and surveying staff were added to provide an excellent professional service for a growing number of clients. In October August 2006, following a management buy-out the company and its staff became independent and Elliott Environmental Surveyors was established.
