Ground-level experience, company-wide

Founder-led since 2021 — built from the peat up.

Our Story

Started in the peat.
Never really left.

Owen Environmental was founded in 2021 by directors Tom and Gareth, both of whom bring a background in agriculture and a hands-on understanding of the landscapes they work in. The business grew from their early work in peatland restoration — work they carried out themselves — and that ground-level experience remains central to how Owen Environmental operates today.

They know what it takes to work in difficult, remote and ecologically sensitive terrain because they have done it, and that understanding shapes every project the company takes on.

Our Team

Raised on farms.
Certified for everything else.

That practical ethos runs throughout the wider Owen Environmental team. The majority of our team come from agricultural and forestry backgrounds, bringing a practical, working knowledge of rural landscapes.

Certified plant operators with deep experience of low ground pressure machinery on sensitive terrain.
Experienced site supervisors who hold the same standard on remote hillsides as on managed sites.
Skilled ground workers selected for their competence in the field as much as their qualifications on paper.
