Countrywide Grounds,
the UK’s leading professional grounds maintenance contractor, has won a new
five-year contract with Greenfields Community Housing to deliver grounds
maintenance to all the green spaces surrounding its 8,500 homes across the
Braintree District and surrounding districts.
The contract is
worth over £1 million and started on 1st January 2019.
Greenfields, a
community-centred housing association, has awarded Countrywide with the
contract to provide an all year-round grounds maintenance service across its
towns and villages.
The work will
include over half a million square metres of grass cutting and litter
collection, over three hectares of pruning and two and a half of weeding, and
over four kilometres of hedge cutting. In addition, a gritting service
will be available for the residents in Housing for Older People Schemes to
ensure paths remain clear and safe.
Andrew Gilliar,
Regional Director of Countrywide Essex, said: “We are delighted to win this new
contract with Greenfields Community Housing to deliver a fully comprehensive
grounds maintenance contract for the next five years.
"Not only are
our teams trained to the highest standards, but they have the commitment and
enthusiasm necessary to provide a service that’s second to none.
"We fully
recognise that Greenfields’ housing and their appearance are key to the
standing of its organisation and we will do everything to ensure that their
grounds will always look their best. We are really excited to have
already started the work and look forward to the seasons ahead.”
Diane Foley, Head of
Neighbourhoods at Greenfields Community Housing, added: “We take pride in our
neighbourhoods, and we are looking forward to working with Countrywide to
ensure our residents get the communal areas and services they deserve.”
