Our Story

Founded in 2006 by Pete Satchell, enims Ltd was born from a clear vision: to support vital development projects while keeping the environment at the top of the agenda. Pete believed that infrastructure could be delivered on time and within budget—without compromising the natural world. With people and planet at the forefront of the design process, enims has grown into a trusted name in ecological consultancy.

Pete was later joined by his daughter, Helen, bringing a new generation of leadership and passion to the business. Together, they’ve built a company rooted in strong values: Professional, Inspirational, Respectful, and Sustainable.

With a small team of trusted ecologists, enims deliver practical, results-driven solutions with genuine passion and capability—combining deep technical knowledge with a hands-on, collaborative approach.

At enims Ltd, we’re proud to partner on some of the UK’s most significant infrastructure schemes, working with rail and highways clients to achieve their delivery goals while championing environmental excellence.

We also support smaller developments, homeowners, and planning and architectural professionals, offering tailored ecological advice that ensures compliance, enhances biodiversity, and promotes sustainable design—no matter the project size.

We believe that progress and preservation can go hand in hand with environmental excellence.
