A History:

Williamsburg Environmental Group, Inc. was born in a garage in the spring of 1990 in Williamsburg, Virginia. Two young entrepreneurs (Principals Ron Boyd and Mike Kelly) brought their technical skills together to form a small environmental consulting firm.  The initial focus for the company was on Ecology, Water Resources, and Regulatory Permitting. After many years of expanding services and acquiring new expertise, WEG has still maintained that focus. Although their business began with service mainly to private-sector clients, WEG now has a 60/40 percent mix of private/public clients.  “It still amazes me to think about where we started from” commented Ron Boyd, “it seems like just yesterday…” 

WEG has since grown from two partners to a present staff of nearly 100 full-time professionals and support staff.  WEG has built a qualified staff of professional engineers, planners, wetland ecologists, and regulatory specialists with advanced degrees and specific technical skills which are highly integrated.  WEG is sensitive to the important environmental values of the region and the firm strives to be involved in projects that are supportive of these values.  The firm meets these objectives by working closely with the client in defining the environmental components of a project early in the planning process and then prescribing appropriate measures to protect the more sensitive areas.  With its corporate office located in historic Williamsburg, it also has branch offices in Richmond and Fredericksburg and an office located in Lakeland, Florida.
