Japanese Knotweed Ltd at CLR EXPO 2024
Our knotweed experts were once again available to answer visitor’s questions at the hugely popular Contamination & land Remediation (CLR) EXPO – including a few well known faces such as Gordon Ramsay who popped by to discuss cooking with knotweed.
Meet the experts
Visitors consulted with our invasive and amenity weed expert Darren Greatbatch, John Butcher our lead surveyor and knotweed legal specialist, and Ross Cheeseright from our marketing team was also available to answer questions. Popular topics included how we treat and remove Japanese knotweed, as well as other problematic and toxic invasive plants such as Hemlock, Giant hogweed, Himalayan balsam and invasive aquatic plants such as Floating pennywort, Parrot’s feather, Azolla and Skunk cabbage.
LIVING KNOTWEED
Last year we took along a living knotweed specimen which was extremely popular we took it again this year, here it is above – it’s not every day you get to see one up close. That knotweed sample was still very much alive and even more spectacular this year – so we took it again, accompanied by some rhizome samples and a knotweed crown, plus a new knotweed specimen.
This year was the third consecutive year we’ve exhibited at this event and as we continue to expand our services we had plenty to offer visitors to the stand. Our much-loved knotweed and invasive weeds ID banner pens went down a storm (in fact there were none left), the newly designed pen is ideal for helping you spot knotweed or other invasive plants whilst on site.
what’s new?
This year we’ve been busy fine-tuning our services, kit and methodologies, as well as ramping up our H&S. Here’s a quick run through:
- All-In-One Multi-contaminant Removal service gets rid of both knotweed and asbestos contaminated ground at the same time, reducing client costs and project delivery time.
- IWM approach to knotweed removal reduces need to use as much herbicide.
- Vacuum Extraction excavation method protects the environment and habitats and is ideal for knotweed removal on SSSI sites.
- External H&S audit achieves 100% for two years running.
- Project-Dash our bespoke internally created project management system gets an upgrade to ensure our clients receive live from field reporting.
