Our team
We’re an inclusive, progressive team of sector experts, passionate about achieving the best results for clients and communities.
As an employee ownership trust, we invest in each other – and in Axis. We’re equally committed to and responsible for our success, which means we put in the extra time and effort our clients deserve.
Valuing everyone’s individual contribution and sharing in success is how we’ve developed to become a national player in the field of environmental planning. We’re a growing consultancy but we’re still just the right size to make sure everyone feels involved, challenged and a key part of the business.
Together, we’re bringing to life our vision for innovative, intelligent infrastructure that supports a sustainable future.
We work wherever you are
We serve clients nationwide in the core industries of energy, infrastructure, waste and minerals, commercial and industrial, residential, regeneration and placemaking. Our team works flexibly with private companies and public organisations to deliver sustainable development solutions across the whole of the UK.
Our zero carbon agenda
Sustainability is embedded in everything we do.
From the projects we work on to the steps we’re taking to reduce our own carbon footprint, our company culture is one of respect for people and for the planet.
We’re working towards a zero carbon agenda that minimises the impact of the infrastructure we all rely on, and we’re helping our clients do the same.
Leading Net Zero by example
Leading our industry with a track record of groundbreaking, first-of-its-kind sustainability projects including:
– The World’s first 100MW reactive power battery storage facility

Looking at every project from a sustainability perspective and planning for results that improve lives and enhance environments.
Encouraging our employees to cut their own emissions by implementing measures like bike to work schemes.
Working in partnership with our clients, we have a unique opportunity to positively influence the built environment and create a sustainable future for generations to come.
