"We engaged Miller Goodall to deal with the noise issues likely to be caused by our new industrial development and to provide a report to the local authority planning department. They were helpful and knowledgeable throughout the course of the scheme, specifying the data required to perform their work and liaising directly with the end user as required to arrange the necessary surveying and monitoring. I would not hesitate to recommend Miller Goodall in the future."
