The Environmental Protection Group strengthens Board to enhance delivery for clients and support next phase of growth

The Environmental Protection Group (EPG) has announced the expansion of its Board of Directors, marking a significant milestone in the consultancy’s continued growth and long-term development, further strengthening its ability to support clients with complex development challenges across the UK.

Founded by Paul Culleton and Diane Leigh and shortly after joined by Steve Wilson, EPG was established at a time when sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) and vapour and ground gas mitigation were not widely recognised within UK development. From the outset, the founders challenged conventional practice, helping to shape industry understanding and setting a strong technical foundation that continues to underpin the business today.

Since becoming part of STRI Group, EPG has experienced sustained growth, expanding from a team of ten to nearly 40, following the recent acquisition of Hafren Water. This has added further depth to its expertise and ability to provide agile responses to client needs.

To support the next phase, EPG has appointed three new Directors to its Board:

Phil Williams, Managing Director
Amy Juden, Director
Leo Phillips, Director

Phil Williams commented, “As EPG moves forward, the strengthened Board provides a robust platform to support continued growth, technical excellence and long-term value for clients across geoenvironmental engineering, structural waterproofing and sustainable water management.  We have a great team surrounding us and we’re looking forward to what the future holds.”

These appointments recognise the leadership, technical capability and long-standing commitment Phil, Amy and Leo have demonstrated in helping to build and shape the business, ensuring clients continue to benefit from technical leadership, responsive service and ongoing innovation.
