We work across the forestry and forest products sector, with micro-organisations, trade associations, universities, small and medium sized enterprises and Blue Chip organisations. It is has been a great honour for the past year to have been involved in the development and organisation of the project certification of timber used at the 2012 London Olympics. In addition, over the last 12 months we have worked with the University of Wolverhampton on a DFID funded project with 18 professionals from West Africa and Asia who were in the UK to develop understanding and appreciation of the requirements of FLEGT and VPA negotiations in their home countries. 
We currently come into contact with more than 100 companies a year. Some of our client’s testimonials are below:
Colin Tetley, Altripan: ‘We have worked with Ligna for over 3 years on various aspects of our environmental management. The ongoing service they provide represents value for money in a fast changing area of business support’
Steve Ford, Travis Perkins: ‘Ligna manages aspects of our auditing responsibilities at over 500 branches. The company always acts in a thoroughly professional and approachable way, enabling us to efficiently meet the requirements of our external stakeholders whilst providing us with useful internal information’
Terry Edgell, Premier Forest Products Ltd: Ligna audited us this year (2010) for the TTF’s Responsible Purchasing Policy. They kept to deadlines, were even-handed and provided us with useful feedback. We will likely retain their services again’
Richard Lambert, British Woodworking Federation: “We have been working with Ligna since 2006. We needed to provide our members with a fast and efficient route to certification, which was easy to understand and straightforward to implement. Ligna designed and ran the BWF Group Chain of Custody scheme from its inception. Their knowledge, professionalism and commitment is unrivalled and they are a tremendous support to the BWF.”
Kathy Collins, North Kent Joinery Ltd: ‘When we needed FSC and PEFC, Ligna were quick to respond to our needs, efficient in their delivery and a pleasure to work with. Thanks’
Henry Kruger, Smurfit Kappa Ltd (Europe): ‘After the success achieved in the UK, we retained Ligna as our key consultants in the Benelux region. Mike worked well at both plant level and with the senior regional management and we successfully completed certification late in 2010. As Smurfit Kappa continues to roll out FSC and PEFC across Europe, Mike’s knowledge and knowhow will be very useful’
