Ed’s supported Older People’s Day on 1 October

 

Ed’s Garden Maintenance franchisees supported Older People’s Day with the offer of a free lawn mowing service on 1 October to over 70s in their local area.
Marc Miles in Leighton Buzzard, Clive Edmonds in Hampton,  Steve Frise in Walton-on-Thames, and  Marcus Richardson in Wokingham all participated.
Franchisor Edward Mauleverer said, “It’s great to see the spirit of putting back alive and well  amongst our operators.  One of the great frustrations of the elderly is their inability to look after their gardens as they get older and are less able to do such a physical job.  I should know, as a school boy I was part of a team who worked in the community tending gardens of the elderly.  It was heavy going as many would be incredibly over-grown.  It was around that time that my love of the gardening and being outdoors really kicked in; something that stayed with me and was obviously the seed of Ed’s Garden Maintenance which I founded 11 years ago turning my back on corporate life to do something more meaningful.”

Comments:
I needed the services of a local gardener to clear and level the bottom of our garden but didn’t just want to pick one at random.  I found Ed’s Garden Maintenance through this website and within a matter of minutes of submitting my enquiry John had rung me back and we chatted through what I wanted to have done.  He came to the address the same day and quoted for the job which was within budget and what I would have expected to pay.  We arranged a date for the work to be done the following week and in due course this work was carried out today.  The end result has transformed the bottom of our garden so much so I shall now be having him back to add some boarders and turf in a few weeks.  The way in which he charged for the disposal of the waste was very fair and a lot cheaper than a skip.  Overall I was very impressed with the work and would recommend his services to others.

Please contact Ed’s Garden Maintenance if we can help with your gardening requirements.

Ed’s Garden Maintenance Welcomes New Franchisee for Norwich

 

 

 

 Ed’s Garden Maintenance welcomes Ian Waters who has taken on a franchise business covering Norwich and Broadland.
 
Ian, a father of two has spent 25 years working in London. He has a background in IT project management, and for the past three years has worked as an IT contractor.
 
On joining Ian said, “My five hour daily commute meant that I was hardly getting to see my two children aged six and seven. Whilst intellectually challenging, my work was not personally rewarding, and I wanted a healthier lifestyle.  I’ve always had a love of gardening from being a teenager and explored a number of gardening related franchise opportunities.  Ed’s was the best fit; a good business model with good financials.  I am looking forward to developing a sound business; becoming excellent at what I do then achieving financially what others in Ed’s have achieved.  There are some great role models within Ed’s and I have already spent time with other franchisees including Matthew May in Folkestone, a finalist in this year’s British Franchisee awards.  I’d love to replicate what Matthew has achieved.
 
Founder Ed Mauleverer added “We’re delighted to welcome Ian as we now start to expand into territories outside of London and the South of England with our first franchisee in Norfolk.”
