Well I don’t know about Spring being here…it feels more like Summer this week – what a wonderful time to work outside!

Our teams have to work in some brutal conditions all through the Winter as it is still a busy  for us then, but this is when it all becomes worth it.

You should have noticed those first smells of freshly mown grass by now, as everything comes out of hibernation and starts to grow.  Add this to our Operatives’ hard work in Winter, which is now paying off – there isn’t far you can walk without seeing some of the 65,000 bulbs we planted ready for this time of year.

We have started our new programme schedule for the Spring/Summer season and it is already madness…but at least the great outdoors is a wonderfully, large, bright and breezy office to work in at the moment!

Meet our Office Manager - Terri, Stood 3rd from left on back row

If you have ever had the pleasure of coming through to our reception, you will already know that Terri is the glue that sticks all of our departments and customers together, keeping everyone informed and ensuring that the right hand definitely knows what the left hand is doing!

Feel free to approach Terri with anything you may require or any query you may have with regards to Envirocare and we hope you will join us in wishing her every success in her new role.

A few members of the team at Envirocare

We are having a “proud moment” here at Envirocare Grounds Maintenance.  In todays Lancashire Evening Post we have a 4 page pull out right in the middle pages.  Its a great tool to keep if anyone - our customers and members of the team alike,  want to know anything about who Envirocare are.

Yes, Bracken is a member of our "family" too!

It starts with a history of our background and the throught process behind the Envirocare concept from the beginning.  It goes on to tells us how it grew and our main simple approach to our service…Well trained teams, high quality of service delivery and a positive approach to customer service all while retaining the “family feel”.  This is what makes Envirocare special.

It goes on to detail all of our accreditations and how important we value health & safety.  Its a great read…make sure you get todays copy!
