About Us
Miller Goodall provides assessment and design advice related to acoustics, air quality and lighting for feasibility and planning studies, construction and demolition, and final commissioning. Our advice, based on years of experience in the industry and regular ongoing training in the latest technology and legislation, helps to ensure the protection and enhancement of air quality and the acoustic environment and contributes to the delivery of the best possible project outcomes. Miller Goodall was founded in 2004 by Jo Miller and Lesley Goodall, which is where the company name comes from. Jo retired as Director in March 2023, leaving the company in the capable hands of Lesley to take the business forward.
