We're pleased to announce that after a tender process involving residents, we've chosen The CGM Group to complete grounds maintenance in our communities for the next ten to fifteen years. 

The CGM Group was founded in 1985 and provides a complete service to both domestic and commercial customers. They are an award-winning Horticultural, Arboricultural and Landscaping organisation.

The CGM Group says: "We have immense pride in our work, commitment to better client care and relationships throughout every job we carry out, caring more about the communities and environment we live and work in. Every member of every team sees a project not as a job to get done, but a way of making positive change for those who live in those communities. It is job satisfaction and more."

The tender process started in February this year, and involved residents and staff looking at in-depth application forms over two days. The group looked at all sorts of information about the contractors that applied, focussing on the resident engagement and communication aspects of the applications and also social value (‘added extras’ the potential contractors could provide outside of their contract to support or benefit our residents).

A new schedule of work will be added to our grounds maintenance website page in the coming weeks.
