We believe great landscapes start with people, purpose, and expertise. Here’s what sets us apart:

✨ Integrated services: From initial feasibility to detailed design and handover, we offer landscape planning, design and management,
giving clients a seamless experience from concept to completion.

👩‍💼 People-first culture: With a team that’s 90% women, we champion inclusivity in a traditionally male-dominated sector.
We also provide career opportunities for school leavers and apprentices, ensuring diverse pathways into the profession.

🌱 Sustainability at our core: We actively measure and reduce our carbon footprint, embedding biodiversity and green solutions
into everything we do internally and externally.

🏡 Community impact: From supporting local charities to improving our area, we’re committed to giving back and making a difference
where we live and work.

Whether it’s creating inspiring green spaces, shaping communities, or supporting future talent, Influence delivers landscapes that matter - for people, places, and the planet.

AI is everywhere, quietly reshaping how we work, decide and deliver.

Yesterday, Shona Hatton attended ProCon Nottinghamshire Ltd and listening to speakers who discussed implementing AI in the built environment. A valuable perspective on making AI work in real-world built environment projects.

Thanks to the organisers.
