Nurture Group is proud to offer a comprehensive range of grounds maintenance services across the UK, and we are delighted to announce that we have recently acquired a landscaping specialist based in County Durham. This latest acquisition reinforces Nurture's grounds maintenance and winter gritting operations in the North East region.

Nurture Group is proud to offer a comprehensive range of Landscape and grounds maintenance services across the UK, and we are delighted to announce that earlier this year we acquired Beaumont Landscapes, a landscaping specialist based in County Durham. This latest acquisition reinforces Nurture's grounds maintenance and winter gritting operations in the North East region, enabling us to consolidate and relocate our other operations to Beaumont's existing Newton Aycliffe site.

Established in 1965, Beaumont Landscapes has been providing high-quality landscaping and ground maintenance services to clients across the region for over half a century. The business has an excellent reputation within both the facilities management and education sectors, serving around 150 clients across 200 site locations. In addition to its grounds maintenance offering, the business also provides an expanding winter gritting service, with more than 50 sites in and around Newton Aycliffe and Darlington.

The acquisition of Beaumont Landscapes allows us to close our depot at Lingfield point and relocate our North East grounds maintenance team, currently based at our hub in Durham, to Newton Aycliffe. Sophie Lineton, the founder's granddaughter and Beaumont's current managing director, along with five other members of the Lineton family, will join Nurture as part of the acquisition. We are thrilled to welcome them to the team and look forward to working together to continue delivering outstanding quality and service to our respective client bases.

At Nurture Landscapes and Gavin Jones, we are passionate about building collaborative partnerships with our clients to deliver industry-leading green services. Our national presence and capability are delivered via talented directly employed local teams working out of 70 depots across the UK. We provide grounds maintenance services primarily to the corporate B2B sector, with Gavin Jones specializing in services predominantly to MOD sites, public open spaces, and educational clients.

We have a wealth of experience in the Property Management and FM sectors, and we invest in building long-term relationships with our clients. Our teams are supported by a robust local, regional, and national management team structure, enabling us to deliver a highly flexible, personal, and local service to consistently high standards at each of our clients' properties, wherever they may be in the country.

We fully understand the fast-changing and complex market and invest in innovation and proactive management at the heart of our offering. We have developed suites of ESG and biodiversity initiatives to bring added value benefits to our clients, tenants, and the local communities in which their properties sit. In addition to our core grounds maintenance services, we can also offer further market-leading support in areas such as Winter Gritting, Landscape Construction, Interior, Office and Exterior Plant displays, and Pest Control through our specialized in-company divisions.

We are proud to have collected numerous awards and accreditations for the high quality of work we have made to the environment on behalf of our clients, notably the BALI, Green Flag, Green Apple, and Britain in Bloom awards. At Nurture Group, we are committed to environmental responsibility and practice, and we are a living wage employer. Our sales are predicted to hit in excess of £140m this year, and we currently employ almost 2,000 people.

We are excited about the future of Nurture Group and look forward to working with our clients across the country to provide the highest standard of grounds maintenance services.
