Our Story
Started in a Bristol Flat, Now Nationwide
In 2009, Dr. Helen Cartwright left her position at a large engineering consultancy frustrated by how often ecological concerns were treated as afterthoughts. She founded echo-chassis with a simple premise: better ecological advice delivered earlier in the planning process prevents costly delays and produces better outcomes for wildlife.
What began as a sole practice operating from a spare bedroom has grown into a team of twelve specialists working across England, Wales, and Scotland. We've retained our founding principle: ecology should inform design, not just react to it.
