Leading landscape architecture practice The Landscape Agency has announced it is launching a new sister company The Tree & Woodland Company.
The Tree & Woodland Company will offer solutions to all tree and woodland management issues and aims to become dominant within the arboricultural world. Services offered will include managing landscapes and woodlands; veteran tree and hazard assessment; arboricultural ecology; planting; project management and work implementation.
The newly formed company, based in Stoneleigh Park, near Warwick, will be staffed by those currently working on arboricultural contracts for The Landscape Agency. All existing arboriculture work will be transferred across. The company has been formed in response to identifying further potential in this area and will build on its existing broad client base including private estates, public organisations, the commercial sector and land agents, as well as other architectural practices. Existing clients include The National Trust, English Heritage and the Royal Parks.
The new company will be headed up by Andrew Bowman-Shaw, formerly Arboricultural Director at the Landscape Agency. He commented: "I am delighted to be fronting The Tree & Woodland Company. I see great opportunity for us to become major players in the industry, am thrilled to be developing the business and look forward to the challenges ahead".
The Landscape Agency Managing Director Patrick James added: "Establishing The Tree & Woodland Company gives us a great chance to continue to develop our work in this sector and we feel confident we can offer a fantastic range of services to our clients."
