Land & Water Group

The Challenge

Land & Water Group is a leading wet civil engineering firm that, over the course of its 40-year history, has become synonymous with finding sustainable and innovative solutions to complex challenges in the specialist environment where land and water meet.  

 

Whether it’s developing a first-of-its-kind low carbon drag box for dredging or delivering a habitat creation scheme that will see over six million tonnes of material being repurposed to create valuable habitat along the Thames Corridor, the work of Land & Water Group is always completed with sympathy to the local surroundings, people and the environment. 

 

With the Group consisting of a number of business divisions, from plant hire through to marina management, Land & Water Group was looking for a PR and marketing agency that could handle all of its comms, raising awareness of the different services it offers and its groundbreaking innovations.
