Talbot Landscapes invests in new head office

The short move to an expanded facility of 8,000 square foot on Heage Lane, off the A50 to the west of Derby is an excellent location for the national operator and will house the head office personnel engaged in the tendering, planning and execution of projects and provide facilities to store and maintain landscaping equipment.

Accredited Contractor, Talbot Landscapes has built an impressive customer base across the UK supplying a full range of landscaping and related services to the public realm, sports terrain, construction and other markets.

Typical projects include landscaping advisory and construction through to maintenance of sustainable landscapes in city parks and recreational areas, large country estates, premier sporting surfaces, other public realm locations, construction sites and some housing developments.

Talbot Landscapes are reliable partners bringing elite performance surfaces to the Olympic Stadium, Championship golf courses, Premiership and Championship football clubs (including training grounds), other league clubs, local sports clubs, village clubs, schools and universities.

With 30+ years’ experience and comprehensive quality standards within an Integrated Management System audited under ISO9001, Talbot Landscapes routinely advise customers in the planning, construction and maintenance of new or replacement surfaces.

Investment in equipment

Important to the delivery of high service levels in landscaping is the continued investment in the latest equipment, the technical tools needed to execute landscaping sustainably.

The enlarged footprint at the new Heage Lane premises will also benefit the team enabling improved equipment planning and utilisation.

Investment in personnel

Alongside the property move, Talbot Landscapes has taken this opportunity to recognise the contribution made in particular by two long serving managers. Both Ed Marson and Holly Fleming have been promoted to director roles.

Ed Marson becomes Contracts Director in charge of winning awards, project resource planning and contract supervision.

Holly Fleming becomes Operations Director leading the administration support infrastructure to the sales team and live projects.

Mark Goodwin, Director at Talbot Landscapes commented:

"I am delighted with the move to our new facility and to recognise the competency of both Ed and Holly in this way. Both have come up through the ranks, they understand our operations thoroughly and demonstrate repeatedly high levels of customer service"

Sean Goodwin, Director at Talbot Landscapes added:

"The new facility at Brookfields Business Park will support the improved communication and efficient operation of our staff at all stages of the project and allow us to continue to invest in market leading equipment and technology and attract and retain the best possible team"
