MoreOliver launched his own lawncare business 14 years ago at the age of 19! His original franchise area was North Sheffield, since then he has acquired the Huddersfield & Wakefield franchise areas. The business now looks after over 8000 lawns in Yorkshire completing over 35,000 treatments every year!
“Fifteen years. I joined back in August 2006, when I was just 19.”
“Everything! I manage the general day-to-day running of the business by dealing with staff, customers, rotas, training and accounts, as well as handling the lawn issues.”
“We run three franchise areas from one office with two full-time members of staff. On top of that, we have 14 other lawn managers who service customers’ lawns.”

“We once had to treat a 7500m2 lawn with its own golf hole and a lake! It was very impressive.”
“Neither!”
“The customers. I love meeting new, interesting people and helping them get a great lawn.”
“By accident, really. We were customers of the company already because Greensleeves were treating my parent’s lawn. At the time, I didn’t know what I wanted to do for a living but I did know that I liked the idea of working for myself. When I saw the opportunity to buy a franchise, the rest is history. I now run three areas – Huddersfield, North Sheffield and Wakefield – and service over 8,000 gardens.”
