New Six Year Contract With English Heritage
3 July 2023

English Heritage cares for over 400 historic buildings, monuments and sites, bringing the story of England to life for over 10 million people each year. Alongside their medieval castles and Roman forts stand an estimated 38,000 specimen trees and 160 hectares of woodland. The distribution of these trees is diverse, ranging from individuals and small groups to designed historic landscapes containing thousands of trees. Some of these have heritage significance in their own right as a result of great age, botanical significance or due to connections with historic people or events.

Building on our relationship with the Trust dating back to 2018 when TEP was engaged to undertake a review of their tree management practices and systems, we are delighted to commence a new 6 year contract to inspect trees across their northern estate. The portfolio covers 73 sites including the enchanting Belsay Hall and Gardens with its medieval castle, and thirty acres of outstanding gardens; the splendid 13th century Pickering Castle set in the heart of the North York Moors National Park; and the remains of the forts, towers, turrets and towns that once kept watch over the Hadrian’s Wall.

The work will be delivered using Alloy, Causeway Technologies connected asset management software, which was adopted by the Trust in 2022 to replace their outdated method of managing tree risk. The software can be hosted on either a tablet computer or mobile phone and is highly configurable, providing a high level of flexibility. Any arboricultural work required after the survey can also be managed, tracked and recorded through Alloy as an end-to-end, fully digital process.

As Biodiversity Net Gain becomes an increasingly important part of the planning system, local authorities are exploring how their land assets can play a greater role in supporting nature recovery while creating long-term environmental value. To help inform its approach, Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council commissioned TEP to assess the Biodiversity Net Gain potential across approximately 500 Council-owned landholdings. Using bespoke desk-based software the project sought to establish a robust baseline of biodiversity value, identify opportunities for habitat enhancement and provide strategic recommendations on how the Council could utilise its land assets to support the delivery of Biodiversity Net Gain .

We are absolutely delighted to announce that we have once again been awarded Investors in People Gold accreditation, recognising our continued commitment to creating an exceptional workplace culture and supporting our people to thrive. Investors in People is an internationally recognised accreditation and framework for improving workplace culture, leadership and people management. Since its launch in 1991, it has helped organisations across the world to lead, support and develop their people more effectively. Today, the framework is used by organisations in over 100 countries and provides a robust benchmark for assessing workplace culture and employee experience. Achieving Gold status is a significant accomplishment and places TEP among a select group of organisations demonstrating outstanding people practices. Only around 28% of Investors in People accredited organisations achieve Gold, highlighting the strength of our culture and commitment to continuous improvement. The assessment process includes an independent evaluation of leadership, communication, employee engagement, learning and development, organisational culture and wellbeing. Colleagues are invited to provide confidential feedback through surveys and interviews, ensuring the accreditation reflects the real experiences of people across the business. This achievement is particularly meaningful because it is based on direct feedback from our people and recognises the positive, supportive and collaborative environment we continue to build together.
