Green-tech becomes Origin Green-tech

Green-tech becomes Origin Green-tech

Green-tech, one of the UK’s leading suppliers to the landscaping, forestry, construction, and environmental sectors, is proud to announce its new name: Origin Green-tech.

Green-tech becomes Origin Green-tech

The new identity reflects the company’s place within Origin Enterprises plc, a global leader in sustainable land-use solutions. While the name is changing, everything customers value about Green-tech remains the same: the people, the specialist expertise, the high-quality, innovative solutions, and the outstanding service that have been core to the business for over 30 years.

The rebrand reinforces the company’s purpose of creating sustainable Living Landscapes, helping customers shape environments that thrive through innovation, trusted expertise and complete solutions. From urban greening and biodiversity enhancement to forestry, infrastructure and environmental restoration, Origin Green-tech is uniquely positioned to support projects that deliver lasting environmental value.

As part of this evolution, the established and respected British Hardwood Tree Nursery will strengthen the Origin Green-tech business while continuing as a trading brand alongside John Chambers Wildflowers, Green-tree Soils, and Groundtrax Ground Reinforcement Solutions.

For customers, this means much more than a new company structure. Bringing these respected specialist brands together creates a single partner capable of supporting every stage of land management and landscape creation. Customers can now access the UK’s trusted wholesale supplier of bare-root trees, shrubs, hedgerow plants and planting accessories, as well as wildflowers, landscaping materials, soils and substrates, erosion control products, and environmental solutions, through one connected business. Origin Green-tech offers complete solutions from concept through to completion, giving customers one trusted partner for every stage of their project.

Mark Andrews, Managing Director of Origin Green-tech, explains, “Our new name reflects who we are today and where we are going, but it doesn’t change what matters most to our customers. They will continue to work with the same knowledgeable people and receive the same trusted service that Green-tech and British Hardwood Tree Nursery have always been known for.

What this does change is the opportunity for our customers. By bringing together our range of specialist brands and leveraging the strength of Origin Enterprises, we are creating one business with a breadth of solutions, technical knowledge and practical experience to support projects from concept through to completion.

Whether our customers are creating woodlands, delivering greener cities, restoring natural habitats, or supporting infrastructure and landscape projects, they can now access everything they need through one trusted partner. That gives them greater confidence, greater efficiency, and complete peace of mind in knowing they have the right partner for every project.

The launch of Origin Green-tech marks more than a name change. It represents a business with broader capability, deeper expertise and an even stronger commitment to helping customers create resilient, sustainable landscapes.”
