The company is founder/management owned under Director Sam Jones with Principal Consultants John Mellor and Hannah Shaw, no external institutional funding has been disclosed, and there is no parent company or subsidiary structure. Marketing channels include a resource-rich website, monthly newsletter, insights blog, free virtual CPD sessions, and downloadable brochures; distribution is direct to enterprise sustainability, procurement, and estates teams.

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• AECOM Environment & Sustainability: Global infrastructure consultancy with UK ecology, BNG, and landscape teams serving housing developers and public-sector clients. Overlaps on BNG and green infrastructure but competes primarily on enterprise-scale multi-disciplinary mandates.
• Arcadis UK Environment: Global design and consultancy firm with UK environmental and landscape services, including BNG and ESG support for property and infrastructure clients. Competes in the same procurement frameworks but with significantly broader capability and capacity.
• SLR Consulting: Global environmental and advisory consultancy offering ecology, BNG, landscape, and sustainability services across multiple sectors. Competes for the same BNG and ESG mandates but operates as a broad, multi-disciplinary incumbent rather than a niche specialist.
• WSP Environment: Major global consultancy with large UK environment and ecology practices covering BNG, EIA, and landscape design. Comparable on BNG and EIA services but typically bid on larger, multi-disciplinary engagements where TGP cannot compete alone.
• AtkinsRéalis (SNC-Lavalin) Environment: Major UK environment and ecology practice within a global engineering group, delivering BNG, EIA, and landscape services to developers and public-sector clients. Overlaps with TGP on BNG and ecology but operates at much larger scale on infrastructure and development projects.

Direct peers

• Baker Consultants: UK ecological consultancy offering habitat surveys, arboriculture, BNG, and green infrastructure advice to developers and housing providers. Strong overlap on BNG, arboriculture, and ecological surveying services, with similar client profile.
• The Ecology Consultancy: UK specialist ecological consultancy providing BNG, protected species surveys, and ecological impact assessments. Closest direct peer in ecological-assessments-plus-BNG service line, often competing on the same housing-association tenders.
• LUC (Land Use Consultants): UK-based landscape architecture, environmental planning, and biodiversity consultancy offering masterplanning, green infrastructure, and EIA services to housing and public-sector clients. Most directly comparable in service mix and UK housing association focus, though at significantly larger scale.
• Gillespies: UK landscape architecture and urban design practice with strong public-realm and housing portfolio expertise. Comparable in delivering landscape design, green infrastructure, and placemaking services to housing associations and developers, though broader in scope.

Emerging players

• NatureMetrics: UK-based biodiversity data and analytics company offering eDNA and nature-monitoring technology. Adjacent rather than direct — supplies tools TGP's clients increasingly demand, and could become either a partner or partial substitute for survey-led approaches.
