The Standard in Evidence-Led Invasive Plant Management
The Science of Certainty
Founded in 2016 as a spin-out from Swansea University’s Department of Biosciences, Advanced Invasives bridges the gap between academic rigour and real-world application.
Led by Dr Daniel Jones, we provide the technical, legal, and strategic insight required to solve the most complex challenges posed by invasive plants, with a specialist focus on Japanese Knotweed.
We mitigate risk, protect assets, and provide the scientific certainty necessary for global leaders, large landowners, and government bodies to act with confidence.
Advisory & Integrated Project Services
Specialist advice at critical stages of an asset lifecycle
Even the best-managed organisations need specialist advice to mitigate risks during critical stages of an asset’s development or investment lifecycle.
Our Six Core Pillars of Excellence
Clarity where others find complexity
We operate at the intersection of science and strategy, applying evidence-led thinking across legal, commercial, environmental, and operational contexts.
