Our mission for our clients, our contractors and our employees is:
Environmental Services for Fun and Profit
Because increasing profit is more fun than realizing a loss, we are dedicated to increasing the bottom line of our clients and adding value to their projects. We believe that compensating our employees well and paying our contractors a fair price are both important keys to insuring our work delivers the perfect blend of quality, efficiency, and integrity, every time. In our office, we create a climate of respect and innovation, where staff enjoy coming to work. Our enthusiasm is shared by our contractors and shows through in the quality of our products.
We have expertise in due diligence, litigation support, permitting and regulatory compliance, remediation management, natural resource evaluation, and innovative research.
To accomplish our mission we maintain:
The mutual respect of all parties involved with the project
Integrity in our communications and business practices
Quality in our deliverables
Company History
Prior to 1996, Mr. Hicks was employed by Geosciences Consultants, Ltd., a company he founded with a partner in 1983. As Vice President for 13 years, he helped the company grow to nearly 100 staff members. After the 1993 sale to a multi-national company, Mr. Hicks found himself in meetings where minutes were kept, but hours were lost. He disliked being separated from clients by the large junior staff, and founded Hicks Consultants in October 1996. We’ve been having fun and realizing profits for our clients and ourselves ever since.
Overview of Projects
We routinely conduct small projects, such as Phase I Environmental Site Assessments. We excel at short and long term projects that require coordinating with regulators, contractors, and clients to uncover and implement the best practices for the protection of human health and the environment. We limit ourselves to one or two projects where the annual revenue exceeds $500,000. We generally do not participate in competitive bidding, but instead rely upon referrals and repeat business.
