Johnsons of Whixley complete successful contract grow

Johnsons of Whixley Wholesale Commercial has been commended by Transport Scotland throughout their contract to supply plants for the prestigious Forth Replacement Crossing project in Scotland.

The Forth Replacement Crossing is the biggest transport infrastructure project in Scotland for a generation, comprising construction of a cable-stayed bridge, called the Queensferry Crossing, across the Firth of Forth and upgrading the connecting road network.

When complete, the Queensferry Crossing will provide essential links across the important cross-Forth transport corridor in the east of Scotland.

Transport Scotland awarded a contract to Johnsons of Whixley to prepare, supply and deliver specified plant material for use in the landscape and ecological mitigation planting for the project.

Transport Scotland consider that the contract has been a success to date, endorsed by the underlying ecological integrity and biodiversity benefits from procurement of native species of local provenance.

Further benefits have included the flexibility with which plants can be delivered, as determined by the construction programme, and the ease of procuring plants for additional areas to be planted or to enhance existing planting.

Over the course of the six-year contract with Transport Scotland, which will conclude in the Spring of 2018, Johnsons will have supplied approximately half a million native trees, hedging and larger specimen trees.

Iain Richardson, joint managing director at Johnsons of Whixley said: “Approaching the culmination of our involvement in this highly prestigious project, we can once again reflect on the successful delivery of a diverse range of plant products.

“We are equipped to meet exacting specification while taking other factors into consideration, such as local biodiversity and the requirement for flexibility.”
