Celebrating Success and Summer at Ground Control ☀️
Every summer, we unite as a business to celebrate our achievements and envision the future. Our employee conference and awards are a cherished tradition, allowing us to recognise personal milestones, share our strategic vision, and hear from every corner of Ground Control.
This celebration is more than just an event, it is a vital part of our company culture. This year's gathering was another tremendous success, highlighting the incredible work and dedication of our teams.
A heartfelt thank you to every member of Ground Control for your support and commitment to our shared goals. Together, we continue to make a positive impact on the world around us.
Get your green on 🌿🌼
Trimsaran Primary school's budding pupils took part in Biodiversity week activities and got their hands dirty with ‘seed bombs’ courtesy of our Biodiversity fund and Ground force.
A big shout out to the Ground Force team for joining in the planting and supplying the seeds.
We can't wait to see those wildflowers bloom!

A good sign for biodiversity at Ashford Middlesex Extra 🐞
Surrounded by complementary landscaping that will connect wildlife to the habitat, the sign will support the store in achieving its biodiversity aims and work for nature.
The sign has already received a great reception from staff and visitors to the store, and we look forward to the surrounding plants and wildlife flourishing.

We are very excited to share that the 'Diversity is Queen' exhibition, on display at the #RHSChelsea Flower Show has received a silver-gilt medal 🏅
Working in partnership with the @bumblebeeconservationtrust , our landscape architects co-designed and built the exhibition to educate visitors on the diversity of bumblebee species and their habitats.
🐝 Thank you to the Bumblebee Conservation Trust for the opportunity to collaborate on another exciting exhibition. We're proud to have supported back-to-back silver-gilt-winning projects
Today we are delighted to announce the expansion of our external maintenance and energy solutions services into the Irish market.
Our €5 million expansion, which will be headquartered in Dublin, with a second office in Belfast, will see us employ 150 new roles throughout Ireland. This is in addition to our 1,100 employees across our UK operations.
With this expansion, it is our ambition to become the number one net-zero biodiversity and decarbonisation-led grounds maintenance and energy-solutions company in Ireland.

To celebrate 50 years of Ground Control, we committed to planting a tree for every member of staff.
The 1,200 trees were a native mix and planted at the Wildfell Centre for Environmental Recovery as part of our National Tree Week Celebrations.
Thank you to teams from across the business who joined us to celebrate.
#NationalTreeWeek
A beautiful day for planting trees at our Wildfell Centre for Environmental Recovery.
Yesterday, we planted 800 native broadleaf trees and shrubs, adding to 1,200 planted this week, with the aim of planting 2000 by the end of #NationalTreeWeek
Congratulations Roy Candlin, who received his award for being shortlisted as a @prolandscaper 'Unsung Hero'.
He has been instrumental in the success of our Special Education Needs (SEN) grounds maintenance internships.
Congratulations, and well done Roy.
