News Expanding our Environmental Services: Welcoming Hortech to the Nurture Group family Date: 4th September 2024 Share: We’re excited to share that Nurture Group has taken another significant step in our journey towards environmental excellence with the acquisition of Hortech Limited, a leading environmental services provider based in Staffordshire. This marks our 49th acquisition, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to welcome the team into the Nurture family. Hortech Limited, with its deep-rooted expertise and strong presence across England, Wales, and Scotland, has been a pioneer in environmental services since the late eighties. Their commitment to sustainability aligns perfectly with our own values, and together, we’re set to strengthen and expand our environmental service offerings across the UK. As a carbon-neutral business that proudly meets the global PAS 2060 standard, this acquisition is a natural fit for us. Hortech’s extensive experience in grounds maintenance, invasive weed control, arboricultural services, and pest control will greatly enhance our ability to deliver a comprehensive range of horticultural, green workplace, and environmental solutions. This acquisition is not just about expanding Nurture’s services; it’s about bringing together like-minded teams who share a passion for excellence, innovation, and sustainability. Their “can-do” attitude and unwavering commitment to health and safety resonate deeply with our own culture. We’re particularly excited about the new opportunities this partnership brings, including the introduction of invasive weed control to our service portfolio. “We are thrilled to welcome Hortech Limited into the Nurture Group family. The company’s arboriculture expertise integrates seamlessly with our recently acquired Gristwood & Toms business, consolidating our reach and footprint in the north of England and Scotland.” – Peter Fane, Executive Chairman and Founder of the Nurture Group. This acquisition, following closely on the heels of our recent acquisition of Spacecare Ltd, is another testament to our commitment to strategic growth. It reinforces our position as the UK’s leading provider of horticultural and green workplace services. Over the past 16 years, Nurture has grown both organically and through thoughtful acquisitions, and today, with a team of more than 2,800 dedicated colleagues, we’re proud to have a truly national presence. Hortech Limited will trade under the Nurture Landscapes Ltd brand, enhancing Nurture’s capacity to deliver a fully integrated range of horticultural, green workplace and environmental solutions across the UK. As we integrate Hortech into our operations, we remain dedicated to our core values of teamwork, respect, and honesty. Together, we’ll continue to nurture the environments we care for, delivering the highest quality services to our clients across the UK.
