Green-tech invited its
customers and suppliers to help celebrate its 25th anniversary at a VIP open day last week.
More than 150
customers and suppliers attended the open day at Green-tech‘s purpose built
business park in North Yorkshire.
Guests were invited on
a tour of the Green-tech operation where they could see the UK’s leading
landscape supplier in action. A number of seminars that covered distribution,
soils, wildflower and urban tree planting took place hourly. Visitors were
invited to show off their competitive streak with a laser pigeon shooting
competition and enjoy a traditional Yorkshire Hog Roast.
Work on phase two of
the business park which includes additional warehousing was temporarily halted
and guests could look around and get a feel for the sheer scale of the
Green-tech operation.
Eighty people joined
the Green-tech team for dinner at the Cedar court Hotel in Harrogate, where the
generous revellers raised over £340 for York Teaching Hospital Charity;
Green-tech’s chosen charity which cares for local hospitals from York to the
Yorkshire Coast. They help by funding the extras to improve the healthcare
facilities above and beyond the NHS to make patients feel better.
Chairman Richard Kay
said: "Twenty-five years in business is a big achievement and Rachel and I
were delighted that so many people were able to join us at our celebratory open
day. It was a great opportunity to bring our customers and suppliers
together and for them to meet the team behind the Green-tech machine.
"Guests got to
see where it all happens and were amazed at the scale of our site and
warehousing operation.
"Many of our
suppliers and customers have been trading with us for a long time and I
appreciated the opportunity to thank them for their loyalty, commitment and
support.”
