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, 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 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.”
