Envirocare Technical Consultancy

What Envirocare Technical Consultancy does

Envirocare Technical Consultancy, now operating as Cura Terrae OH and Emissions Testing Limited, is a UK-based, UKAS and MCERTS-accredited professional services consultancy specialising in stack emissions testing and occupational hygiene. Founded in 1994 and headquartered in Bradford, the company delivers on-site technical services — including MCERTS stack emissions testing, BS EN14181 QAL2/AST calibration of Continuous Emissions Monitoring Systems (CEMS), residence time verification, temporary CEM installation, and Leak Detection and Repair (LDAR) — to industrial sites holding EPR A1 and A2 environmental permits. It operates six UK offices (Bradford HQ, Warrington, Newcastle upon Tyne, Dudley, Brackley, East Kilbride) and serves clients across the UK, Ireland, and Europe. The business is the consolidated product of Envirocare's acquisitions of S.I. Environmental (August 2022) and Atesta (October 2024), the latter having been the UK's 4th largest stack emissions testing company; the combined entity now operates as part of the Cura Terrae environmental services group alongside Cura Terrae Land & Nature, EMS Water, and Enviro Technology Services, completing its rebrand in April 2025.

The company's second service line is occupational hygiene consultancy, addressing employer duties under COSHH, the Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005, and the Control of Vibration at Work Regulations 2005. Services include workplace air monitoring, noise surveys, audiometry, Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) thorough examination and testing, COSHH risk assessments, Hand-Arm and Whole-Body Vibration monitoring, indoor air quality testing, Legionella risk assessments, breathing air quality testing, and electromagnetic field (EMF) surveys. All occupational hygienists are registered with the BOHS Faculty of Occupational Hygiene's Professional Standards Register. A third service line covers environmental consultancy, including EPR permit applications, MCPD permits, pre-OMA audits, and environmental training courses. The proprietary eDAS® (Environmental Data Acquisition System) platform underpins data management for key accounts, providing tracking and trending of emissions data to support compliance reporting and decision support. Certifications include UKAS (ISO 17025), MCERTS, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, SafeContractor, Great Place to Work, Disability Confident Employer, and Armed Forces Covenant signatory status.

Revenue is generated on a bespoke quote-based, project-priced model under multi-year contracts with industrial enterprise clients; the company cites a 94% customer recommendation rate and over 20 years of operating history. Go-to-market is sales-led through named directors (John Healey, Alastair Wolff, Barry Grant, Susan Russell) and a field-based engineering and consulting workforce, supported by content marketing (website knowledge hubs, case studies, articles in The Construction Index). Named case-study customers span recycling/metals (Trident Metals), manufacturing (U-POL, DFS Furniture), construction (Abacus Lighting), education (Nottingham University Samworth Academy), heritage (Salisbury Cathedral), agriculture (Dutch Poultry Farm), utilities/wastewater (CHP facility), and healthcare (UK Hospital Trust). Headcount is stated at 11-50, revenue is not publicly disclosed, and ownership sits with the private Cura Terrae environmental services group following Envirocare's acquisition by EMS in August 2019 and subsequent group restructuring in 2022.

Direct peers

• SOCOTEC UK: UK division of SOCOTEC Group offering stack emissions testing, CEMS calibration, occupational hygiene and environmental compliance services. Direct competitor in MCERTS-accredited testing and the most obvious peer in the UK stack testing market.
• SLR Consulting: Global environmental and sustainability consultancy offering air quality, emissions monitoring and occupational hygiene services. Comparable mix of accredited testing and advisory work for industrial clients.
• Particle Technology Ltd: UK specialist in stack emissions testing and air quality monitoring with MCERTS accreditation. Direct niche competitor focused on the same UK industrial stack testing market.
• Cambridge Environmental Assessments (CEA): UK provider of regulatory environmental and human-health risk assessments with industrial hygiene and exposure science capabilities. Overlaps on the occupational hygiene and regulatory consulting side of Envirocare's offering.
• Atesta (pre-acquisition entity): Now part of Envirocare/Cura Terrae, but historically the UK's 4th largest stack emissions testing firm and the most direct specialist competitor before its October 2024 acquisition. Useful baseline for UK stack testing market sizing.

Broad incumbents

• RSK Group: Large UK environmental, engineering and technical services group with overlapping stack testing, occupational hygiene, environmental consulting and CEMS capabilities. A broader, acquisitive incumbent operating multiple complementary service lines.
• Bureau Veritas UK: Global testing, inspection and certification (TIC) major with UK emissions testing and occupational hygiene offerings. Competes on enterprise RFPs but as part of a much broader portfolio rather than a UK-stack-testing specialism.
• SGS UK: Global TIC leader with UK environmental testing, air emissions and industrial hygiene services. Provides competitive overlap through scale and accreditations rather than specialisation in UK MCERTS stack testing.
• WSP UK Environment: Global engineering consultancy with UK air quality, emissions and EHS consulting practices. Competes for enterprise environmental and compliance mandates at much larger scale.

Regional players

• Trant Engineering: UK-based engineering and environmental services contractor with overlapping emissions monitoring and compliance work for industrial clients, primarily in southern UK and infrastructure projects.
