APEM began life as a small niche consultancy in 1987. Over three decades, APEM has grown to a global environmental consultancy, providing a comprehensive range of integrated niche services for clients across Europe, the US, Australia, and Asia.

We have offices throughout the UK, Ireland and the United States.

In 2021 we acquired Woodrow, an environmental and sustainability consultancy based in County Sligo, Ireland and in February 2022 we welcomed AQUAFACT to the APEM family too. More recently we were also joined by GoBe Consultants, who also became part of the APEM Group.
