Article Summary
Leeds-based sustainability consultancy Tunley Environmental has achieved a record financial year with annual turnover surpassing £1 million for the first time, reaching £1.55 million in 2023-24. Founded by entrepreneur Dr William Beer in 2017, the company experienced its third consecutive year of turnover growth exceeding 50%. The success is attributed to Tunley's work with maritime and ports clients, which accounted for over a third of the firm's turnover. The company also secured its largest-ever deal, producing a net-zero carbon emissions strategy for Detroit/Wayne County Port Authority in Michigan. Tunley's growth has led to an increase in its headcount from 10 to 17 in the past year, with plans to target revenues of £2.8 million in the next financial year. The company anticipates a key role for artificial intelligence in streamlining future operations.
