Today

Convinced his frustrations were also experienced by estate agents, he pivoted to property certification.

Tom believed by building a reliable and trustworthy company, backed by excellent customer service and deliver quality work, customers would respond positively. 

Today, Eco Approach is the UK’s largest supplier of property certificates. Serving landlords, property companies, housing associations and local government, clients include the ‘big 6’ energy firms and blue chip organisations.

Tomorrow

We’re embracing the opportunities around energy efficiency using the latest technology. 

Through our work we’re committed to helping make the planet greener, more sustainable and a better place for everyone. 

Together, on the right path.
