Leading landscape
supplier Green-tech is celebrating a bumper year since its formation in 1994.
Green-tech has enjoyed
12 consecutive record-breaking months; a first for the company. February was
the ultimate high when they achieved an unprecedented £1.6 million of sales.
The company is
expecting to end their financial year with an annual turnover of £14.5 million,
up 14.5% on last year.
Green-tech’s head
count has continued to rise as predicted and they have plans to expand to 90
staff by the end of the year.
The sales team is
their largest team with further growth scheduled. Green-tech successfully took
on a number of Apprentices earlier this year and are planning to take on more
to provide the skilled workers that they believe will be the future.
Green-tech will be
celebrating its three-year anniversary in November at their purpose-built
premises, Rabbit Hill Park in North Yorkshire. Since moving to the Business
Park Green-tech has undergone extensive planned growth with aims to reach
turnover of £20 million within the next few years. Planning permission has been
granted for a further 3 warehouses and additional car parking that the company
will need to meet demand and accommodate its growing workforce.
Green-tech has long
since been recognised for its commitment to the industry. This year they have
supported a record number of events and exhibitions year – in excess of 50. It
was announced earlier in the year that they have agree to be the headline sponsor
of the glittering BALI National Landscape Awards for a further three years. So
far on the 2018/19 landscape calendar they have committed to sponsor the Pro
Landscaper Business Awards, the Pro Landscaper 30 Under 30:the next generation
initiative and the SGD awards.
Commenting
on their financial year, Chairman, Richard Kay said:“It has been a storming year for Green-tech but it
hasn’t happened by chance.
"The team have
stuck in and worked hard. I’m delighted that our hard work and commitment to
the industry and our clients has paid off. We have increased our turnover by
13% from 2017 which is no mean feat in an incredibly competitive marketplace.
"We have big
plans to take on more apprentices and get more heavily involved in educating
the younger generation who will be the future of Green-tech. We’ll continue
with our new product development, looking for good-fit acquisitions and making
sure there’s no better choice when it comes to choosing a landscape supplier!”
