The ProLandscaper Business Awards, held annually, recognise outstanding achievements and innovation across various sectors of the landscaping industry. Green-tech was among six distinguished finalists for the esteemed Employer of the Year award. However, the company emerged victorious after successfully showing where staff ideas and comments have resulted in change to create a positive work environment, and how Green-tech demonstrated a desire to support the physical and mental health of its employees.

The awards ceremony was held at Old Billingsgate, London on Friday 19th April, and brought together companies from across all sectors of the industry to celebrate the accomplishments within the landscaping community.

Green-tech’s Managing Director Kris Nellist attended the event with some of the Green-tech team, who were thrilled to accept the award on behalf of the entire company.

Living Wage Employer Accreditation

/in , /by

Living Wage Employer Accreditation: We are delighted to announce our Living Wage Employer accreditation.

This is a commitment to pay all our staff the real Living Wage – a rate independently-calculated and based on what people actually need to live. This rate is higher than both the government’s “minimum wage” and “national living wage” and ensures that employees earn enough to meet the cost of living.

Living Wage Employer Accreditation

Managing Director, Richard Taylor, said “As a responsible employer and with a consideration to the long-term commitment that we have to both our people and our clients, we just felt it was the right thing to do to support and participate in such a worthwhile movement.”

Note: The real Living Wage is the only UK wage rate that is voluntarily paid by over 4,700 UK businesses who believe their staff deserve a fair day’s pay for a hard day’s work.
