Also when it comes to staffing they take a different position from the facility services, when their own staff capacity is not enough they don’t just lease workers from an agency or so, which often is the case, but they try seriously to subcontract or temporarily hire other qualified green professionals, namely the Farmers, the men and women who keeps our landscape open, have a good common sense and knowledge of working “down to earth” and a genuine feeling for plants and nature that almost seems to be streaming through their blood.

Those working as subcontractors or helping them staffing the contracts, they even have a real, substantial influence over the entire organization as they, how should I put it, partly own the company. Indeed, it is a new idea for successful grounds management!

It is refreshing to see a new, strong actor, though still an independent, pure Landscaping company, fast forming their men and women into line, and not only do they take up the fight with the cleaning business but they lead the way on a national scale while still remaining outdoor professionals.

So if you fear the competition from the ever growing multinational giants, let there be no doubt that it is possible to grow and become number 1 without offering catering or dry-cleaning to your customers. Just do it the natural way, work with green professionals all the way. How do you find those substantial numbers of men and women to keep up the growth and maintain competence and working spirit? Literally in the field... Many farmers need side works or may even be ready to quit farming and go fulltime into our part of the Green world. That’s how!

With the right basic skill, professional training and a true committed overall leadership it can go sky high. It isn’t rocket science you know, just pure common sense set into a the right framework.
