"Trinity aimed to understand the opportunities available to enhance biodiversity and carbon sequestration on our rural land through a rural review, following a natural capital baseline.
Bidwells was a natural partner for Trinity due to their in depth knowledge of the portfolio, combined with their understanding of commercial realities and expertise in natural capital.
Lisa Bulmer and Roland Bull led the project with skill and demonstrated significant knowledge in this sphere. Importantly, they are supporting the translation of this review into tangible next steps, incorporated in the broad management of the portfolio.
I would recommend Bidwells to peers looking to undertake similar work."
