A blossoming ecological design and build company is using the Internet to boost its business.

Middlemarch Environmental Ltd, which is based at Stoneleigh Deer Park and employs 10 people, provides expertise in environmental project management, ecological surveys and assessments, habitat creation and landscaping.

The company was only founded three years ago but already boasts an impressive client list including Jaguar Cars, Peugeot, The National Exhibition Centre, Rover, British Airways and Powergen.

Now it has teamed up with leading environmental Internet specialist Ecosaurus to produce the website, which it hopes will bring more business.

Middlemarch's Consultancy Director Dr Mark McLellan said:

"We are in a growing but highly-competitive industry and have to win a lot of our work through competitive tender. The Internet is another tool that could well lead to us winning more business.

"We carry details of past case histories but we will also be updating the site regularly to keep people abreast of current projects."

Middlemarch Environmental was established by the Warwickshire Wildlife Trust with profits covenanted and used by the Trust to fund its conservation work.

It moved to its new headquarters in February and has carried out work in all areas of the UK as well as in Ireland.

Locally, the firm designed and built the Swift Valley District Park in Rugby, and undertook environmental projects for Park School and Warwick Junior School. They are also monitoring a newly created 270-acre countryside park for British Airways at Heathrow.

Dr McLellan added:

"The relationship between the built and natural environment is now high on both public and private agendas."
