What makes us different

We deliver on our promises

We never make a promise we know we can't keep, understanding that the promises we make are essential to your business.

We consistently deliver above 90% of our customer's reports on time and in full. That isn't just sample turnaround but whole batches of your samples that make up a complete report.

Service you can trust

We are proud of our heritage as the "Environment Agency Labs" but today there is much more to us than the support we provide to the Agency.

We are enjoying significant growth in commercial clients, attracted by our proven track record of delivering the highest levels of quality through one of the most comprehensive schedules of UKAS accreditation available anywhere today.
