Testimonial
'We initiated the services of Vicki Cooper at 360 Environmental in November of 2010 for the application of two sites in relation to planning and permitting. I can confirm that we are very happy with the advise and submission that Vicki has completed over the two applications, and would not hesitate to utilise her services in future as she has portrayed a very professional and knowledgeable attitude towards both submissions with the successful application of one site and the pending application of the second site.' - Sarah Raymond, Business Manager, Palm Recycling Ltd
