Engineering and environmental consultants
People and the partnerships they forge will always remain front and centre of what we're about – they're right there in the double ‘pp’ of Rappor.
We are Rappor
Rappor is an engineering and environmental consultancy working in partnership to steer sustainable development.
People. Partnership.
People-first. Partnership-led. Built to leave things better. That’s Rappor's purpose distilled right down to the basics.
When we started out in 2014, our culture of care acted like a magnet to attract great people. Astute, skilled and qualified on one hand. Personable, open and positive on the other. In other words, the root of our vision and values.
With those first people on board, the magnet grew stronger, attracting more excellent people to Rappor and attracting clients, too, who think like we do and value what we value: collaboration, open chats and honest views without faff or fanfare.
In all walks of life, strong relationships and genuine partnerships are the bedrock of success and happiness. They provide the support, diverse perspectives and shared purpose that help us achieve far more than we ever could alone.
For you, that means early clarity, joined-up thinking and places that work better for people, communities and the environment.

Belonging with us
It’s no secret that businesses flourish when they look after and invest in their people.
We take this principle seriously and foster a values-driven working environment that means our team can expect a ladder not a ceiling.
Bright minds, big hearts and a culture rooted in genuine care.
Adam Padmore, CEO and Founder
Building Rappor
It’s hard to put our culture and camaraderie into words that’ll capture the magic we’ve created at Rappor together. It’s something you feel.
Every year we get together to share that ‘feeling’ at our company-wide event, which gets bigger and better every year. Here’s a glimpse of our trip to Center Parcs in 2026, where we did a little bit of brainstorming, a lot of recharging, and celebrated another successful year.
Rappor features in The Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2026 list, an achievement we’re proud as punch about. In partnership with leading employee experience platform WorkL, this nationwide workplace survey showcases organisations leading the way in employee engagement, workplace culture and overall employee experience.
The most important marker for us will always be seeing our teams happy and supportive of each other as they deliver work that we can all be proud of.
Since day one, we’ve built a culture where genuine care and wellbeing are embedded in how we work. As the first engineering consultancy to achieve Investors in People’s ‘We Invest in Wellbeing’ accreditation in 2020, we haven’t rested on our laurels and we’re now Gold accredited and working towards Platinum this year.
Rappor has partnered with BGF, a leading UK equity investor, to fuel our next phase of growth.
The investment reflects confidence in our role as a transport-led engineering and environmental consultancy navigating the planning process, advancing development and infrastructure projects, and steering the creation of more sustainable, equitable and resilient communities.
