During his time as a Seasonal Ecologist, Charlie embraced the varied and fast-paced nature of the work. He found real enjoyment in surveying a broad range of protected species and refining his skills in identification and survey techniques. The uniquely dynamic rhythm of seasonal work – where each week brings fresh challenges – was something he not only adapted to but came to appreciate. The freedom to manage his own time and operate with a sense of independence added to the experience, allowing him to develop confidence and resilience in the field.
In stepping into his new role, Charlie is eager to immerse himself in the world of ecological mitigation. He’s particularly excited to broaden his understanding of how mitigation supports and safeguards protected species during development – an area he’s keen to explore in greater depth as he takes on new responsibilities.
Charlie also has a clear vision for his professional development. He hopes to begin working towards several protected species licences, starting with great crested newts and badgers. Looking ahead, he has ambitions to expand into more specialised areas with licences for species such as barn owls and otters, reflecting both his dedication to the field and his desire to keep progressing.
Above all, Charlie highlights the supportive and positive working environment at Brindle & Green as a major factor in his growth. The willingness of colleagues and mentors to share their time and expertise has created a workplace where he feels encouraged, valued, and able to thrive.
We’re delighted to announce that Brindle & Green will be expanding in 2026 with the opening of a new office in Wolverton, Milton Keynes in early April.
We’re delighted to celebrate a fantastic achievement within our contracting team, as Danny and Matt have successfully completed their SSSTS (Site Supervisor Safety Training Scheme) qualification.
We are delighted to announce Joe Gilmour’s promotion to Director at Brindle & Green. Joe joined Brindle & Green in the spring of 2018 - in his early days he threw himself into anything the company needed but spent his first season on ecology survey work and helping with logistics.
