Metis is a civil and environmental engineering consultancy, certified as a B Corporation in the UK since 2022. We provide sustainable engineering services to both the public and private sectors. Since inception in 2009, our purpose has remained consistent: to offer an agile and personal alternative to the bigger civil engineering consultancies. We strive to exceed expectations in every project, and are proud of our reputation for the extraordinary engineering projects we deliver.
In 2025, Metis became an Employee-Owned Business – underpinning our continual drive to innovate, and meet the specific needs of our clients. We have offices in Richmond-upon-Thames and Manchester.
We help our clients and partners to plan, design and deliver transport solutions in urban and rural settings.
Our data-led approach enables us to develop effective, resilient and sustainable designs, and to optimise the maintenance and improvement of existing infrastructure. We deliver solutions from early strategic planning through to detailed design and construction phase support.
We support local authorities and utility companies by delivering schemes which reduce flood risk and deliver environmental improvements. Our team is experienced in understanding localised and catchment-wide flood risk, and developing effective SuDS mitigation that protect communities and enhance environmental resilience. We also deliver impactful river restoration and habitat improvement schemes. We support our clients in fulfilling their Lead Local Flood Authority statutory duties and in securing project funding.
