Naturally Wild Education and Media

In the summer, Graeme and Jack formed a new business called 'Naturally Wild Education', which provides professional wildlife related training and education. This business has proven success in delivering education-based exhibitions and through these exhibitions, we help clients with their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).

Naturally Wild Education also provides clients with access to our Digital Media - from video through to digital stills and the finished printed article – which can be used in CSR or other areas of their business.

As part of the education branch we have been in demand all year, providing expert knowledge and information to the press and media across the UK. Graeme has made numerous appearances on national television, mentoring a budding young ecologist (at the age of 13) and his passion for great crested newts, and also several spots on national radio and on a number of regional radio shows.

Our media gallery has been used in the press, with photography and film sold to Natural History authors. You can take a look at a selection of our work on our social media channels, which you can link to from our website.

New year, new staff, new premises

The existing team will be bolstered in 2015 with the addition of a number of key staff to meet the demands of a changing marketplace, and the evolution of Naturally Wild. Keep track of job opportunities with Naturally Wild on our blog and in the press.

Our Head Office is expanding and will provide double the space of the current premises. We will use the winter months to complete the move and train new office staff. Our postal address will be as follows:

Naturally Wild Consultants Ltd.

Unit 1 Stephenson Court

Skippers Lane Industrial Estate

Middlesbrough

TS6 6UT

A new satellite office in the south of England will allow for further expansion in that region, allowing Naturally Wild to manage projects locally in southern regions. Graeme has been busy interviewing staff to cater for this development.

All Naturally Wild staff will complete a rigorous training programme, with planned Personal Track Safety (PTS) certification and Individual Working Alone (IWA) for those team members working on Network Rail projects, along with a comprehensive review of CSCS training and First Aid Training. Ecological staff are also starting a new program of training as part of their individual development.

Preparing for growth in 2015

The Naturally Wild team has enjoyed a year of unprecedented success in 2014. We have undertaken ecological projects as far apart as the Highlands of Scotland and the very southernmost tip of England, and pretty much everywhere in between.

Although it has been exceptionally busy, we have always delivered for our clients on time, thanks to some exceptional teamwork. We have worked together to complete delivery of European Protected Species (EPS) Licences and NERC-linked projects for great crested newts, bats (including greater and lesser horseshoe) and a number of badger projects.

As 2014 draws to a close, we are preparing to build on this success in the New Year, with a number of new initiatives planned over the winter to ensure we are ready for 2015.
