RPS

RPS is a multi-disciplinary consultancy providing advice to the public and private sector on the actual or likely implications of past, present and future actions on the natural and built environments. With the increasing level of environmental legislation and regulation and a heightened awareness of the importance of environmental best practice, demand for the company’s services should increase.

Cranswick

Cranswick is a producer of “high-welfare” pork products including free range and organic sausages and other meat products for supermarkets and premium brands such as Duchy Originals. It should continue to benefit from the increased consumer demand for organic foods and concerns over animal welfare.

Atkins

Atkins works with public and private sector clients in a range of markets, including rail, water, power, health and education, to provide professional, technically biased consultancy and support services. The environmental services division offers environmental assessments, environmental management training, climate change consultancy and contaminated land remediation.

Gamesa

Spanish based Gamesa is one of the top 5 manufacturers of wind turbine generators with an interest in the development of wind parks across Europe. The company stands to benefit from the growing demand in renewable energy sources across the world in response to energy security concerns and attempts to reduce industrial carbon emissions.

Nordex

The Nordex Group is a leading global supplier of wind turbines. Nordex produces large commercially manufactured wind turbines in the 1.5-2 MW range that are suitable for use on shore, off shore, in permafrost and desert. The company is well positioned to take advantage of government policies aiming to increase the proportion of electricity generated from renewable sources.

Novera Energy

Novera Energy is an established UK focused renewable energy company, with a portfolio of three businesses in wind, waste and water and landfill gas. As a long term owner and operator of renewable generation, Novera is involved in wind farms from early development through the operating life and de-commissioning. The company also holds the UK licence for Enerkem gasification technology which has the potential to make a significant contribution to UK Waste disposal.

Keller

It solves ground engineering problems such as development on contaminated land, the renovation and construction of waste water treatment plants, construction of new sewage outfalls and control of landfill leachates and ground water. The company has a well-established health and safety programme and is rolling out its environmental management system across all group operations.

FirstGroup

FirstGroup is currently taking part in an EU-funded trial of fuel cell buses.

National Express serves more than 1 billion passengers a year worldwide on its bus, train, tram and express coach operations. The company’s services provide an alternative transport mode to cars, and the company should benefit from regulation and policies which aim to tackle pollution from transport and high levels of congestion in towns and cities.

Shanks

Shanks is one of Europe’s largest independent waste management companies providing collection and management services for municipal, commercial and industrial wastes, including recovery and recycling services and also chemical services specialising in the treatment of hazardous waste.
