What Ashfield Solutions Group does

Ashfield Solutions Group is an independent UK environmental risk consultancy headquartered in Mountain Ash, Wales, founded in 2006 and operating across England and Wales. It delivers flood risk assessments (FRA, FCA aligned with TAN15), flood history checks, Property Flood Reviews, contaminated land and Phase 1 assessments, land remediation consulting, sustainable soil management, integrated earthwork modelling, fire water runoff containment and COMAH compliance services. Its core technology stack combines proprietary methodologies (notably a 'Line of Evidence Approach' for contaminated land and multi-source flood risk analysis) with the Environment Agency, Natural Resources Wales and local authority datasets, including a proprietary UK-wide local scale Flood History Database. The firm is led by Directors Aaron Jones (Flood Services), Oliver Baldock (environmental risk modelling) and Chris Marshall, with a multidisciplinary bench of chartered environmentalists, geologists, civil engineers and geospatial experts.

The company monetises through project-based professional services fees, with standard flood risk assessments starting at £250+VAT on a pay-as-you-go basis and custom quotations for larger contaminated land, earthworks and COMAH work. Its go-to-market is a hybrid B2B sales motion combining direct engagement with property developers, local authorities and commercial/industrial clients, and a channel strategy that embeds Ashfield expertise inside leading property search, conveyancing and insurance products: the FCI Flood Appraisal with Future Climate Info (Dye & Durham), D-Risk's FloodPro Premium report, Martello's Property Flood Review, and the Aviva Build Back Better Specialist Partner programme. Headcount is reported as 11-50 employees, no revenue figure is disclosed, and the company is privately held with no funding rounds or parent company identified. Quantified customer-outcome metrics cited by the firm include £1.8bn of assets remediated, £85Mn of client landfill tax savings, 1.1M tonnes of material diverted from landfill, and 2,500 hectares assessed or remediated.
