Strategy, Compliance & Support
for the Tree & Landscape Industry
Helping businesses grow with confidence
Welcome
Burl Consulting is a specialist business consultancy with deep roots in the tree and landscape industries. We provide practical, common-sense solutions to untangle the knotty problems holding your business back. Backed by decades of experience and a proven track record, our directors help you increase sales, improve compliance, and build a sustainable competitive advantage - without the typical corporate fluff.
Elcoat is part of Burl Consulting Ltd. This continues a long-standing reputation for dependability and proven results, with the same services and expertise our clients have always relied on.
“With Elcoat’s help, we became Arb Association Approved, ISO 9001 certified, and secured NHSS 18. We now win contracts we would never have been considered for before.”
About Us
We are trusted partners, not traditional consultants.
Whether it’s high-level strategy or practical, hands-on support, we tailor our role to suit your business. From one-off troubleshooting to long-term retained advisory, we integrate into your team and leave nothing to chance.
Our role is to put the right systems in place so that your business runs more smoothly, more profitably, in compliance with the law, and positioned to win tenders. That way, you can focus on what you do best - running your business with confidence.
Our reputation has been built on integrity, reliability, and results. Today, Burl Consulting continues that legacy, supporting organisations across the arboriculture and landscaping industries with the same trusted approach.

Our Approach
Embedded Partnership:
We act as directors, advisors, partners, or part-time colleagues - whatever you need us to be.
Knowledge Transfer:
We upskill your people so you aren’t dependent on us long term.
On-Demand Expertise:
Call us in when you need us, step back when you don’t.
Why Clients Stay With Us
Many of our clients come back to us time and again when new opportunities arise.
Even after learning the process, they would rather focus on the parts of their business they enjoy and trust us to deliver tender submissions and compliance packages of a quality that moves them forward with confidence.
We have never failed to achieve what we set out to do for a client. The feedback we hear most often is that while our services may feel like a leap of faith at first, the returns far outweigh the investment.
