“We started working with Anya when the ESOS regulations came out and she was able to smoothly guide us through the process and help us ensure we were compliant. Following on from this successful working relationship, we enlisted her support with the ongoing maintenance of our EMS and preparations for our transition to ISO14001:2015 in both our manufacturing and distribution sites. This involved providing guidance, conducting internal audits, reviewing processes and checking legal compliance. I wouldn’t hesitate to call on Anya again and very much appreciated her ongoing support, expertise and professionalism.”
– Philippa Turner, OHSE Manager at Sony DADC

“Anya is everything you could want in a consultant. Easy to work with, thorough and ensures that all things are covered at all times. She guided us through the complex ESOS legislation with such ease – this huge task that would have taken a lot of time to complete, became a very simple process because she took the lead and provided a great service from start to finish. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Anya to anyone looking for a strong lead on any projects.”
– Laura Chapman, Facilities Manager at Benefit Cosmetics UK & Ireland

“ILG engaged Anya from Eshcon to advise us on how we could reduce the environmental impact of our business. Anya put a clear process in place that started with a review of environmental activities, she ran a workshop to engage our employees and produced a realistic action plan with targets so that we can measure our progress. The whole process was straightforward and Anya’s pragmatic approach meant that it was not at all onerous for those from ILG that were involved in the project. We are now rolling out the resulting actions which have been warmly received by our customers and employees. My only regret is that we did not approach Eshcon years ago.”
– Jane Middlemiss, Director of Organisational Development at ILG

“The University of Kent is the size of a small town in terms of its geographical size, population and operations, and contains a good deal more in the way of environmental features and risks. Building an EMS was a daunting task – especially as the elaborate system which appeared necessary would have been unwieldy and doomed to failure. Anya provided the perfect means to help us draw the many strands together into a really lean and manageable system which nevertheless covers all our requirements and really delivers. Her vision of how this would take shape overall, her wide and detailed subject knowledge, and her highly personable manner were vital to driving the project forward, and getting numerous key players enthused. We achieved accredited certification to ISO 14001 in just 14 months, which is an amazing feat for an organisation of this size and complexity! I would have no hesitation in recommending Anya to anyone.”
– Andrew Briggs, Fire Safety & Environment Adviser at University of Kent

“Each year Hogg Robinson Group collects and presents a great deal of information for our Annual Report. Eshcon handles all the relevant energy and travel data from our entities across the world, collating it and making the GHG emissions calculations. Anya ensures the project runs smoothly and provides all the information succinctly, for inclusion in our Annual Report on time.”
– Michael Drake, Group Financial Controller at Hogg Robinson Group

Anya took us through the transition process, highlighting where we needed to focus & helping engage with key personnel.

Our project ran smoothly and Anya was always available to discuss any concerns or issues, ensuring that we saved a lot of time and hassle in the process.

We were very pleased with the service.”

“The whole ESOS application went very well with Anya’s fantastic understanding of mandatory UK energy reporting.

A massive thank you to Anya Ledwith at Eshcon for her great support!”

I would definitely recommend Anya to anyone requiring assistance or advice and can endorse her work first hand as a satisfied customer.”
