SLR acquires MacArthur Green

We are pleased to announce SLR has acquired MacArthur Green, a highly respected UK-based environmental consultancy, that specialises in delivering award winning comprehensive ecological and ornithological services to the renewable energy sector.

This strategic acquisition, which brings approximately 45 skilled professionals into the SLR team, significantly enhances our capabilities in the renewable energy market, particularly within the onshore and offshore sectors.

MacArthur Green, renowned for their expertise in ornithology and ecology services, is organised around a carbon-conscious and biodiversity-positive business model. Their involvement in the initial environmental feasibility assessments for proposed developments positions SLR to offer additional in-house technical services, creating a broader scope for collaboration and innovation. Their recent successes in winning projects across Europe further demonstrates the synergies between their technical expertise and SLR’s broad geographical presence.

Alan Edwards, SLR Europe Managing Director, said, “I am thrilled to welcome the MacArthur Green team to SLR. Their passion for the natural world and having a positive impact for the environment through the high impact projects they work on resonates strongly with our team. This partnership bolsters our existing offshore capabilities, and with world-renowned experts joining our global team their specialised knowledge and proven track record in delivering high-impact environmental services will enhance our ability to support clients across the full lifecycle of renewable energy projects. We are now well-positioned to expand our influence in critical markets, including Asia Pacific, North America, and Latin America.”

“We are thrilled to join SLR and collaborate with like-minded colleagues both in the UK and globally. Our focus has always been to work closely with clients to deliver impactful projects and research addressing the climate and biodiversity crisis. By combining the talents of MacArthur Green’s and SLR’s technical and advisory teams, we’ve formed the right partnership to support our clients and broaden our impact.”

David MacArthur, Founder and Director of MacArthur Green
