Starting from right to left, we have Greg, our East Riding director, having spent ten years in the Royal Air Force, where he developed key transferable skills that he now uses to run the East Riding franchise. He will often be getting his hands dirty, but also found in the office with a hot coffee. Along with the help of his wife, Anna, they run a successful small family business.

Senior lawn technician Gareth, has transformed hundreds of lawns in his time here, earlier in 2022 he was promoted to senior lawn technician and he is a vital part of the team. He has extensive experience working outside and at one point in his career, he had 17 miles of hedgerows to trim! Gareth loves seeing the transformation in the lawns, and enjoys a hot tea and friendly chat when it’s been a hard day.

Lawn Technician Stuart has an extensive background in I.T, having decided he enjoys working outdoors (because its the best work place) he has joined the team in 2022, having hit the ground running he is now a fully trained and qualified lawn technician and our customers lawns are all the better for having him here.

Lawn Technician Jim has been working outdoors for several years from landscaping to trimming hedges and mowing lawns. He has done it all.

Q&A with Greg Truby of Greensleeves East Riding

Tell us a little bit about what you do…

“I manage the business, planning for the rest of the year and the following one. I review data from previous years and manage the marketing budget, create plans to grow and for staff recruitment. I also get on the lawns if required. Although that happens less and less nowadays, I did start out treating each and every lawn.”

What’s the most unusual obstacle you’ve had to overcome?

“I had a dog following me around the garden while doing a lawn renovation. It was my own dog and there is a video.”

Are you a dog or a cat person?

“Dogs all the way. We have two – Rosie and Tigger. Mini labradoodle and a Poochon.”

What’s the best thing about your job?

“Watching the staff learn and develop right before my eyes. And of course, seeing the business grow.”

Why did you choose to specialise in lawns?

“It’s a family business. My mother retired so I bought it from her.”

Which season do you most prefer to work during?

“Spring – everything is coming to life. We are scarifying and lots of new quotes are coming in. It’s the busiest but the best time.”

What do you listen to in your van?

“The birds and the traffic. Radio is off usually.”

What’s your favourite post-work snack or lunch item?

“Ham sandwich all the way. No butter. Just bread, ham, bread.”
