The UK’s longest established and leading independent landscape construction and landscape maintenance company English Landscapes was acquired by private equity firm Elysian Capital a year ago. Since then English Landscapes has continued to build upon its high quality service delivery with a major programme of operational development. It has recently gained ISO 9001, 14001 and OHSAS 18001 which has professionally verified the strength of its operational expertise to deliver.
The Company announced this week that after four years with English Landscapes, former Chief Executive Martin Hunt has decided to leave the Group and move on to other opportunities.
Nick Temple-Heald has been appointed as Group CEO with effect from 18th May 2009. The Landscape Group Chairman, Dr Chai Patel said “I would like to take this opportunity to thank Martin for his significant contribution to the Group over the last few years and I am sure you will join me in wishing him well in his new venture. I am happy to say that, despite the economic climate, English Landscapes continues to do well , has further improved the quality of its services and will continue to develop its business under the direction of its new CEO ”
Former Glendale Managing Director Nick Temple-Heald said, “I was very impressed with the company’s plans for growth and with the commitment of Elysian to this their first investment. This move represents a significant opportunity to help develop English Landscapes into the leading green services company in the UK.”
