Company Profile

The Company was first established in 1998 operating as a sole trader, managed by Christopher Hoare. 

Our mission is steady healthy progression as a unified professional organisation. Whilst we continue to expand it is our intention to maintain the qualities that have been the building blocks of our success, encouraging all employees to mirror the Company philosophy firmly geared towards quality of service and customer relations. Each and every customer is recognised as an important part of our success and it is our intention to maintain high standards as we continue to steadily grow.

In 2003 we became a limited registered Company,  The Company philosophy firmly geared towards quality of service and customer relations. Our working relationship with Scottish and Southern Energy, is still in place today and our focus to deliver quality services is the same as in 1998.

In 2005 we realised that despite success with the main client we needed to expand our client base ensuring longevity of business operations. The Company employed a contracts manager and office manager to oversee new business development and help raise the profile and general organisation of the Company. Since 2005 we have worked towards raising standards, continually achieving accreditations and structured progression.

In 2006 we became Arboricultural Association Approved Contractors, an achievement confirming our commitment in raising standards. We also achieved UVDB/Achillies accreditation in 2006, an assessment scheme similar to the AA approved contractor scheme. Also In 2006 the company became Hampshire County Council Approved Contractors, following successful completion of the evaluation process set by the council.

In 2007 we achieved ISO 9001 accreditation, demonstrating our competence in business organisation and  management.

In 2008 we achieved “Buy with Confidence” certification. Further demonstrating our desire and competence to conform over and above industry standards. 

In 2010 we achieved “CHAS” certification. Construction industry driven assessment scheme, certification demonstrating our desire and competence to conform over and above broad industry standards. 

Since 2005 we have steadily grown, building on the original foundations developed in 1998. Developing a professional sustainable structure/organisation capable of servicing Local Government, Utility Organisations, Land management organisations, Housing management organisations and residential clients has been our endeavour.

Trader in Southampton, 18 November 2010
The firm was recommended as I was new to the area. They were asked to fell two trees and cut a large hedge. Excellent personal service with access at all times with any queries by telephone. Polite, experienced workers, knew their equipment well. Cleared up very well afterwards. Would use again. Fee charged fair. Sent out a questionnaire afterwards for comments.
Customer in Southampton, 18 November 2010
We have known Chris Hoare  for many years. He has built his firm up from nowhere, with hard work he has a good work force and reliability. I definitely recommend him!
