Pro Arb’s sister publication Pro Landscaper has announced the winners of the second-ever Pro Landscaper Business Awards. Highlighting the industry’s leading landscaping companies, the awards took place today at East Wintergarden in Canary Wharf, London.
Now with over 15 categories, there were more opportunities than ever to shine a light on the businesses which are raising the standard of the UK landscaping sector. From garden design to grounds maintenance to arboriculture, every part of the sector was recognised at this prestigious event.
Elmtree Garden Contractors scooped the overall prize of Supreme Winner, awarded by headline sponsor CED Stone Group. Managing director Giles Heap said it was “almost impossible” to choose just one victor, but Elm Tree came out on top for its “commitment to the industry to and to staff training”.
Pro Landscaper’s Jim Wilkinson said: “Wow! The second Pro Landscaper Business Awards and the competition gets harder and harder to judge. This year, we had a 40% increase in entries and we’ve almost doubled the number of attendees.
“What a fantastic occasion. I’m really pleased for all the winners. There are some really professional, progressive companies within the UK landscaping sector and these awards allow them to be recognised.
“Special recognition should go to Elmtree Garden Contractors. Not only did they win the highly contested Landscape Company between £2m – £10m category, but they also walked away as the Supreme Winner. A great company and very well deserved.
“Well done to all winners and shortlisted companies. We look forward to next year’s awards.”
