Last month, our Assistant Ecologist, Grace, and Regional Manager, Victoria, had the opportunity to attend the University of Reading’s Science, Health, and Environment Fair. The event offered students a chance to explore career opportunities in a variety of science and life science industries, and to network with environmental professionals.
The fair brought together students from a wide range of disciplines, all eager to pursue careers in ecology, sustainability, and land management. We were delighted to engage with them, sharing how Meadfleet, as landowners, are committed to fostering sustainable, biodiverse landscapes through our Open Space Management practices.
At Meadfleet, we’re dedicated to working with communities and schools to inspire and empower the next generation in protecting our planet and promoting environmental stewardship. After attending the careers fair, we feel even more optimistic about the future of sustainability, knowing the next generation is dedicated to careers that will positively impact the planet. Their enthusiasm and commitment reassure us that the future of our ecosystems and green spaces is in capable hands!
About Meadfleet
Meadfleet are a leading sustainable land-adopting management company. We have in-house ecologists with expertise in the BNG metric and are already applying the principles of Biodiversity Net Gain across our existing open space portfolio in England and Wales. Established in 1995, Meadfleet manage over 330 developments and 42,000 residential properties in our portfolio, with a strong balance sheet.
Meadfleet offers management of Biodiversity Net Gain delivery both on a managed development and on offsite areas, either via customer contributions or commuted sums. Our adoption model relieves developers of ongoing liabilities and management costs.
The Meadfleet model removes onerous liabilities from homeowners yet still encourages their input and engagement into the management of their local environment. We are committed to providing an excellent service to residents as demonstrated by our Excellent rating on Trustpilot and are members of The Property Ombudsman Scheme (TPOS), offering customers free, independent redress should they feel it is required. We are happy to work with residents groups and positively encourage the creation of these on the developments we are involved with. We believe this opens an effective two-way dialogue between homeowners and ourselves.
As a land-adopting management company, Meadfleet take long-term responsibility of open space, building customer and community relations and implementing perpetual management and improvement plans. We take a holistic and independent approach to managing areas of open space for the benefit of all residents, biodiversity and the wider environment.
