“We're committed to developing our colleagues and providing opportunities for them to grow their careers and we always want to see them progress.

“We have a very knowledgeable and skilled team of colleagues in estate services, who have many years’ experience. They take great pride in maintaining the environment to the highest standard, to benefit the local community.

“We see how they go above and beyond to help our customers, involving them in community projects, which clearly has a positive impact on everyone’s wellbeing and the environment.

“A career in horticulture is an exciting profession with many opportunities and winning this award demonstrates how committed we are to investing in the team.”
