Mark Bentley
Director
I am co-founder and director at Encon Associates and since the company was formed in 2008 have overseen its development and continued success.
After graduating from the University of Gloucestershire in 1995, I embarked on a career in the construction industry which has given me a wealth of experience across a number of sectors including landscape architecture, civil engineering and highways.
In my role at Encon Associates, I am responsible for delivering consultancy within the environmental division of the business across a variety of disciplines including landscape, arboriculture and ecology as well as highways, air quality and flood risk.
My dedication to design and detail as well as sustainable practices has been at the forefront of my career so far and I continue to promote the highest possible environmental standards.
Away from the office, I have a grown up family who keep me busy! I also have a keen interest in most sports including a passion for football and my childhood team, Sheffield United.


Glenn Miles
Director
As the co-founder of Encon Associates, I have helped establish the company’s reputation for excellence in environmental and sustainability consulting. Since its inception, I have played a key role in driving its growth and success. As a graduate of the University of Derby with a degree in Building Studies and Architecture (1999), I have dedicated my career to fostering sustainable practices in the industry, supporting hundreds of projects in achieving their sustainability goals. Under my leadership, Encon Associates has successfully delivered numerous environmentally responsible and sustainable initiatives. My vision and expertise continue to inspire innovative solutions that benefit both our clients and the environment.


Lynette Bentley
HR Manager
I’ve been working with Encon Associates since 2017, initially working across the business wherever an extra pair of hands was needed. After a while I found myself settled with the Environmental Services & Transport Division and getting up to speed with Arboricultural Reporting, Transport Statements and Travel Plans.
I am now mainly focused on Arboricultural and Landscape Services. Having worked in Human Resources for 20 years previous to this, I also now look after this side of the business, ensuring we recruit and support our team to the highest possible standards.
Outside of Encon, I am a youth worker working with local young people who have often had incredibly challenging starts to life. My other big passion is our community choir, singing as a group is a fantastic feeling – and cheaper than therapy!

I have been the Acoustics Consultant at Encon Associates since August 2021, where I have worked have worked on a wide range of projects across the UK. I have a vast amount of experience carrying out noise surveys and subsequent assessments inline with standards and guidance documents such as BS 4142, ProPG: Planning & Noise, BS 5228 and Code of Practice on Environmental Noise at Concerts.
In my spare time I enjoy playing bass and have been involved in many music projects. Additionally, I am a keen traveller, runner and follower of many different sports. Originally from Leicester, I am big supporter of Leicester City Football Club and Leicester Tigers Rugby Union Club.


Alana Woolley
Ecologist Consultant
I travel extensively all over the UK conducting protected species, Phase 1 and condition assessment surveys. In the summer months at least I am more likely to be warm and dry but the mosquitos always get me!
Much of my office time is spent on GIS creating maps, completing the statutory metric for various BNG projects and recommending numerous ways to enhance sites for the local wildlife. This results in writing a wide range of reports including Habitat Management and Monitoring Plans (HMMPs), preliminary ecological reports (PEAs), full ecological reports (EAs), Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) reports and other ecological assessments.
Since some projects are based in Scotland, I’m experienced with the protected species and BNG legislation for England, and protected species and biodiversity enhancement legislation for Scotland.
I have a Graduate CIEEM membership, my CSCS card, a Great Crested Newt Level 1 Survey Class Licence (CL08) and FISC Level 3.

Ay Up Me Duck!
My journey with sustainability & well-being started with my Bachelor’s degree in Architecture and Urbanism, in Brazil.

However, I met my passion after moving to the UK and meeting the green certifications, such as BREEAM.
I have been working as a Sustainability Consultant for over 2 years and am proudly a BREEAM UK New Construction, International In-Use Assessor and BREEAM AP. My daily duties include taking care of our stunning range of +45no. BREEAM projects and guiding the design teams to achieve their goals.
