Emily Hand Joins Envireau Water

March 10, 2022

Envireau Water is thrilled to welcome Emily Hand to the team this week as our Business Support Assistant. Based in our Midlands Office in Melbourne, Derbyshire, Emily will be supporting our Business Operations Manager, Lauren Moore, and working alongside our Marketing Coordinator, Josephine Canning, and Accounts Manager, Tracy Wolsey.

After completing a BSc in Geography from the University of Derby and gaining a first, Emily went on to work in financial services but was keen to find a company where she could combine two interests: the environment and business operations. Joining Envireau Water as a Business Support Assistant allows Emily to pursue a career where she can develop both of these interests!


Emily commented, ‘I’m really excited to join Envireau Water in their Business Support Team. I have only been here a few days, but I can already see that I will have the space to develop and shape my own career path. I’m excited to be working within the environmental sector and supporting the growth of Envireau Water.’


Lauren Moore, Business Operations Manager added, ‘Emily has joined us at a really exciting time. With the experience she has gained from both her previous role and her degree, Emily has the skills we require to support the growth and development of the business. She’s an excellent addition to our team.’

World Water Day 2025

By Rachael Plant • March 21, 2025
Climate change is an urgent issue we cannot ignore, and requires the collective action of communities across the globe if the worst effects are to be mitigated. From rising sea levels, extreme weather events to a loss of biodiversity, the potential impacts are widespread. However, this world water day, the focus is rightly on glacial preservation - our planet's largest natural freshwater reservoir. Why is it important? At Envireau Water, we recognise the widespread impact that glacial meltwater has across the whole planet, leading to the escalation of more extreme weather events as a result. Not only does this impact the environment with the disruption of ecosystems and water cycles, but also has a profound impact on society and industries reliant on a stable water supply. As a team of water scientists, we have witnessed first-hand the undeniable impact that flooding and drought events have had on the mineral, agricultural, industrial and development sectors, from failing crops and flooded farmland to a halt in distilling operations and delayed development projects, the ripple effects of these events are felt across communities and businesses alike.

Setting up for Regulatory Success

It is safe to say that Envireau Water have had a long line of success stories over our years of operation across our four sectors of expertise, with permitting and licensing being just one of our many service offerings. So, what has fuelled our success? To get some insight, we turned to our Specialist Water Resources team for their perspective. Penny , can you expand on Envireau Water's success in this area? 'Water is a vital resource across many industries, without which they would not be able to operate effectively. However, this does not come without certain regulatory constraints, which must be abided by. That's where we come in.

Achieving Nutrient Neutrality

By Rachael Plant • March 11, 2025
Achieving nutrient neutrality is a challenging task, and is one that developers all over the country have battled to achieve over the last 5-6 years. In March 2022, Natural England issued a directive to Local Planning Authorities, County Councils, the Environment Agency, the Planning Inspectorate, Natural Resources Wales, and DLUHC stating that, in specific river catchments, developments should not be permitted if the LPA cannot definitively ensure that it will not adversely impact protected environmental sites due to increased levels of nitrate and/or phosphate. While the current approach is efficient, robust, and objective, it can also be slow, costly, and overly complex—leading to potential project delays and increased expenses for housing developers. To address these challenges, the government released the Planning Reform Working Paper in December 2024. This initiative aims to unlock approximately 28,000 homes across seven areas in England that had been stalled due to nutrient neutrality concerns, backed by £47 million from the Local Nutrient Mitigation Fund.
