Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management

Are you a consultant?

Registration on the Professional Directory is open to all Fellow, Full and Associate Members of IEEM that offer their services on a commercial basis.

The IEEM Professional Directory utilises online and print promotion to ensure maximum coverage for the ecologists and environmental managers that have a listing. IEEM directly promotes the Professional Directory to Government and other public bodies, Statutory Nature Conservation Agencies and Local Authority Planning Authorities throughout the UK and Ireland. The Directory is also promoted at various National events each year such as the RTPI Planning Convention and Ecobuild conference.

2012 Professional Directory Charges

There are two directory listing packages available in 2012, which are set out in the table below.

Costs

Basic Listing = Free to all Full and Associate Members.
Enhanced Listing = renewable annually and based on the size of your company:

£100 per year - sole trader (1-3 employees)
£250 per year - medium size enterprise (4-10 employees)
£500 per year - large size enterprise (11+ employees)

The additional benefits received for an enhanced listing (see above table) will be displayed for all personal entries under that company name.

Enhanced listings must be paid for in full in advance of publication. An invoice will be issued after online registration has been completed.

Eligibility

The Professional Directory is open to Full or Associate Members that offer their services on a commercial basis. All members registered on the directory must have appropriate Professional Indemnity Insurance (PII) (proof of which will be required) and be up to date with the Institute’s Continuing Professional Development (CPD) requirements.

Annual Checks

Entries on the Professional Directory will be reviewed annually in October when your membership is due. This ensures that all the entries remain current and that the Institute is promoting professional ecologists that adhere to the requirements for registration. If your membership renewal has not been received before 1 November, your listing on the directory will be suspended until such time as you renew your IEEM membership. You will be notified of your profile being removed by email.

Promotion

The IEEM Professional Directory utilises both online and print promotion to ensure maximum coverage for the ecologists and environmental managers that have a listing. IEEM directly promotes the Professional Directory to Government and other public bodies, Statutory Nature Conservation Organisations and Local Planning Authorities throughout the UK and Ireland. The Directory is also promoted at National events each year such as the RTPI Planning Convention and Ecobuild conference.

Discussions are also underway with the Biodiversity Planning Toolkit Project Group to link the Professional Directory to the Biodiversity Planning Toolkit website to increase exposure and we will be looking at further marketing opportunities over the coming months.

The directory promotes individuals rather than companies, so you yourself and not another member of staff in the same company) must have the competencies chosen.
