McGowan’s commitment to protecting the fragile environments they work in including SSSI’s , SPA’s, SAC’s and NNR’s has attracted a diverse clientele who recognise our expertise in minimising habitat loss and disturbance.
I am happy to recommend McGowan Ltd. They were contracted by our subsidiary Nevis Environmental. They carried out the works professionally, to programme (in fact ahead of programme) and to budget. Communication and co-operation with landowners were good. In fact the landowner employed them to do some work for him while they were on site.
