The core function of The Ecological Network is to connect those looking for ecological services, with those that provide them. Such as connecting building firms/developers with ecological consultants.
However, for ecological companies, the network has a secondary role: The Freelancer Hub.
UK Ecological Consultancies rely heavily on subcontractors or freelance individuals. The Freelance Hub, is a directory of freelance ecologists, each with their own profiles, within the Ecological Network. Use the Hub to find the ecological support you need, from bat surveyors to GIS analysts and ECoW to specialist entomologists.
Whether you need support as an ECoW, or help analysing bat calls in the middle of summer, search the freelance hub to find available freelance ecologists.
The Ecological Network has profiles for both Ecological Companies and Individual Freelancers.
Ecological Companies: Organisations whose clients are non-ecologists (such as developers, architects, homeowners, councils etc.). We appreciate that some smaller consultancies act as subcontractors on major projects for larger firms.
Individual Freelancers: Individuals who only work for other ecological companies through subcontracting agreements. This ranges from graduates undertaking bat surveys, to specialists that are relied upon for complex projects.
If you have your own ecological company but also work part-time as a freelancer, then we suggest you make two separate profiles (as the search functions separate the profile types).
Some ecological consultancies have multiple branches/offices, that operate in different locations.
As each profile is linked to one location, you must create separate profiles for each office/branch. The same account owner can create multiple profiles.
Similarly, if your company is split between two locations and you want to be included in search results for both places; make two profiles.
We suggest naming your separate profiles such as “The Ecological Network: Bristol” and “The Ecological Network: Cambridge“
Ecological Companies is a catch-all phrase. If you are a sole trader/partnership or only work part-time, but have clients that are non-ecologists (such as builders, developers, homeowners etc) then register an Ecological Company Profile, under your trading name.
