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.

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.”

Operator Guy Lilford appeared in the Daily Mail

 

Operator Guy Lilford of the Bracknell and Maidenhead
areas appeared in the Daily Mail recently to discuss his success of buying an Ed’s Franchise. With the business
and marketing help of Ed’s along with Guy’s hard work, Guy’s business flourished. Due to the success
of his business, Guy is now looking at selling a section
of his franchise in order to concentrate on a smaller area. Buying a section of an existing franchise means immediate work and an immediate client base for those
looking to start in the gardening industry.
