BDB Pitmans delivered a multi-channel thought leadership campaign on the introduction of the Biodiversity Net Gain regime. Alexa Downing shares details of its strategy and execution.
BDB Pitmans has long been considered one of the UK’s leading infrastructure advisory firms due to the cohesion between its planning and infrastructure teams.
