EIC Members's Testimonials

The environmental technology and services industry is dependent upon regulation to help it thrive. Most companies would like to have a say in relevant government policy, but few have the time, the resources and the contacts to do this. EIC provides its Members a voice with Government.

'Membership of EIC has given me access to key policy intelligence that has been the basis of the business strategies driving my company's success.'

Peter Atchison, PA Geotechnical Ltd

' EIC have proven to be a focussed and efficient representative of their new members in the renewable transport fuels market. Their reputation within government for specifically representing environmental companies, and providing sound and practical feedback on policy issues, is in distinct contrast to the 'broad church' approach of other organisations in the sector, and has made membership most worthwhile.'

Graham Hilton, Green Spirit Fuels

'Being an EIC Member enables us to keep abreast and be forewarned about key environmental policy developments. We have been able to meet Ministers and senior officials of governmental organisations to hear their opinions and influence changes to our industry'

Peter Ripley, ACWA Services

'EIC has been by far the most effective environmental organisation and has produced real benefits to our business growth and market presence'

Alistair Kean, IKM Consulting

'EIC is by far the most influential organisation we are involved with'

Stewart  Purchase, Viessmann

'Our main reason for joining EIC was to enable us to have a voice in lobbying Government for strong leading edge environmental legislation. This is an essential requirement for environmental technology suppliers to enable them to establish their business plans'

Andrew Cluett, Goyen Controls Co UK

'The need for an authoritative and cohesive voice for the environmental services industry in the corridors of power has never been greater. EIC speaks with the weight of over 240* Members and has rapidly grown to be the lead association for our industry' (*now 290)

John Waters, ERM

'Without the drive and inspiration of Adrian [Wilkes, EIC Chairman], supported by all of you, we wouldn’t be where we are today. It goes own to somebody with a clear view of how to help improve UK industry. Adrian had that vision to pull together an organisation like this and make it work.'

'The development of legislation and regulation are key to the success of environmental technology companies. Membership of EIC provides us with direct input to this process through their high level working relations with Ministers and their advisors. Importantly EIC know how to lobby as well as who to lobby. For small and medium sized companies it is otherwise almost impossible to get our point of view across effectively.'

Rory Clarke, Rix Petroleum Ltd

'Adrian and EIC has had 10 years of remarkable success and I think we now have an organisation that will go on and have a major impact in the forthcoming years. Without the drive and inspiration of Adrian, supported by all of you, we wouldn’t be where we are today. It goes own to somebody with a clear view of how to help improve UK industry. Adrian had that vision to pull together an organisation like this and make it work.'
