About Us

Firth Consultants was founded in 2007 by Simon Firth, one of the UK’s leading specialists in contaminated land risk assessment. Simon graduated with an MSc in Hydrogeology in 1995 and spent his first years in consultancy gaining relevant skills in contaminated land assessment and management, including site investigation, remediation and groundwater modelling. He later specialised in human health and controlled waters risk assessment and has spent the majority of his time over the last 8 years conducting, reviewing and training others in this type of work in the UK and elsewhere.

Firth Consultants provides risk assessment consultancy services to a wide range of clients, including local authorities, landowners, chemical companies, developers, environmental consultancies and remediation contractors. Whether the problem is a small spill from a domestic heating oil tank, or a major redevelopment of a former industrial facility, Firth Consultants has the resources to deliver a robust and defensible risk assessment in a timely and cost-effective manner.
