Flexibility, efficiency and confidentiality
We are happy to provide consultancy ranging from one-off pieces of work that take just half a day, through to longer engineering or marketing projects where occasional chemical input is required of 1, 2, or more days per month, to short intensive projects taking a few man-weeks. We believe our rates are very competitive and we strive to offer the flexibility, efficiency and speediness that is particularly required for small and medium-sized businesses.
EF Chemical Consulting offers a broad range of expertise and know-how but we network regularly with consultant chemists and engineers who have expertise in other areas. We will work with others in the most efficient way to take the project to a successful and timely conclusion.
There are no charges for initial conversations! Feel free to contact us at the early stages of defining a project - we may be able to help determine the best direction to go. And, of course, utmost confidentiality is respected at all times and any conflict of interest will be declared once recognized.
