After switching to Flow, Consultex had more free time to focus on site-work.

As a result, they experienced a 300% increase in jobs in the first four months, rising from 25 jobs in June to over 75 jobs in September.

Consultex have since grown the team. They now employing ten full time staff members for the environmental side of the business as well as additional staff members in the laboratory.
