Baker Shepherd Gillespie prides itself on being one of the top ecological consultancies in the UK. Since its formation in 1997, the practice has worked hard to develop a reputation for technical excellence, innovation and high quality work that is respected in many sectors.
BSG's success is due to the technical competence and expertise of its staff, who all share a passion for ecology. Our expertise in ecology goes beyond a high level of technical ability. BSG's ecologists have exceptional problem-solving skills developed by experience gained through a wide range of project work.
