About us

We don’t just do consultancy — we do it differently

The DM story began in 2003, and our incredible growth and success is a result of our focus on people, on excellence and on working as partners with our clients

At DM, ONETEAM isn’t a tagline. It’s a way of living. From a trio of trailblazers to a 600-strong force, we’ve grown - but our heartbeat hasn’t changed. Every single person, whether they’re out in the field or behind the scenes, gets the mission. Lives the values. Breathes the purpose. 

Because when a ONETEAM mentality leads, everything else follows. 

What makes us different?

  • We challenge

    Tick-box culture? Not us. We challenge ourselves, each other and the industry to do better, be bolder and think bigger. We’re wired to solve, built to rethink and allergic to ​‘that’s how it’s always been done’

  • We innovate

    We’re about breaking the mould. We know innovation isn’t just about shiny tools — it’s about mindset. Because the future doesn’t come pre-packaged. We shape it, reimagine it and make it better — because that’s what progress demands

  • We care

    About people. About purpose. About doing the right thing — even when no one’s watching. Delivering land and environmental solutions? It’s not just a job. It’s a responsibility. And we show up with empathy, integrity and our sleeves rolled up. Every single time

Celebrating ONETEAM

‘Cheers for Peers’ is our way of giving a massive high five to our colleagues who go above and beyond. Whether they’ve had our back, wowed a client or just been that all-round superstar - we see it and we celebrate it.

It’s not annual or quarterly. Any day of the week, anyone can nominate a colleague who has made a difference. And, every fortnight, we give them a proper shoutout in our DM company meeting.

Because great work deserves more than a quiet nod. It deserves a cheer.

Here are just a few of our DM superstars from January:

Her swift handling of key tasks and confident, professional communication strengthened collaboration and demonstrated excellence in action. Amy’s dedication and positive approach make a meaningful impact and reinforce trust across the team.

  • A woman with long, straight hair and glasses is smiling in front of a red and white background. She is wearing a white blouse, and the image is in black and white except for the background.
    Emily Wood
    Coordinator

    Emily has made an impressive impact since joining, quickly demonstrating strong values, exceptional organisation, and a proactive mindset. Her positive attitude and eagerness to learn reflect true progression and excellence, and her contributions have already built trust across the team. Emily’s energy and professionalism make her a valued part of our one‑team community.

  • A smiling young man with short hair, wearing a checked shirt, posed against a split background of white and red. The image is stylized in black and white, except for the background.
