Quarter 1 & 2 2025

February 2025 – May 2025

Lincolnshire Business Awards

Back in February, we were thrilled to learn that West Lindsey Landscapes had been shortlisted for the Commitment to People Award at the Lincolnshire Business Awards. In March, the team donned their best glad rags for the ceremony at the Lincolnshire Showground, where we waited with fingers crossed as the winners were announced.
Although another (very deserving) company took the main prize, we were genuinely surprised, and delighted, to receive a Highly Commended award. Even more special, we later learned this was the first time the judges had ever given this kind of commendation. It’s an incredible honour to be recognised in this way for something that matters so much to us.
Supporting and empowering our people has always been at the heart of what we do, and this award is a real testament to the effort, care and passion that go into creating a positive and supportive workplace. You’ll now find our shiny new plaque proudly displayed in reception!

Conference and Training at Coniston Hotel, Yorkshire

In April, our team came together at the beautiful Coniston Hotel near Skipton for an inspiring and action-packed training event. The two-day event kicked off with a company-wide conference, featuring insightful presentations from every department. We covered key topics, including our 2025 business plan, a review of the end-of-year financials, and a look ahead at exciting upcoming projects. Later, it was time to swap the boardroom for the great outdoors! We put our collaboration skills to the test with a raft-building challenge — complete with a competitive (and slightly soggy!) race. The next day, we attended a mental health workshop, focused on building resilience in the workplace and beyond. It was a valuable reminder of the importance of well-being and supporting one another, both professionally and personally. We also had the chance to take part in some fantastic activities like archery, clay pigeon shooting, and an exhilarating Land Rover driving experience. Always time for cake as we celebrated Ross, Will’s and Vinny’s birthdays!

Project Updates

Portland Square and Fox Street

In April, we began work in the centre of Sutton-in-Ashfield, focusing on Portland Square for our client Lindum Construction. The new scheme aims to revitalise the town centre with a fresh, modern design. Key features include two raised lawns with integrated seating, complemented by newly planted semi-mature trees.
We’re also transforming the derelict Fox Street site into a vibrant green space, planting hedges, shrubs, and trees. This new area will become the future home of Sutton Market, hosting regular events and special market days.

Hill Crest Park – Calveton

Lindum BMS Delivers New Commercial Units for Gedling Borough Council at Hill Crest Park

In response to the increasing demand for high-quality commercial space at Hill Crest Park, Lindum BMS has successfully completed the construction of new business units on behalf of Gedling Borough Council. These purpose-built developments are designed to stimulate local economic growth by supporting job creation and providing flexible space for small to medium-sized enterprises.
To enhance the appeal and functionality of the site, our team designed and implemented a comprehensive soft landscaping scheme. This included the installation of 1,614 ornamental shrubs across carefully planned planting beds, featuring a diverse mix of 17 plant species. Nine standard-sized trees were also planted to complement the landscape and provide a natural canopy.
The scheme was completed with decorative bark mulch and a turfed border, creating a visually appealing and welcoming environment for businesses and visitors alike.
