Gardener Recruitment

 

A well run garden is dependant on the quality of its staff. People with the right skills and qualifications for the job.

The recruitment of any staff is a costly business. Agency fees, relocation fees -- all very expensive! If you appoint the wrong preople then that is a lot of wasted money.

As a Professional Head Gardener, Graham is able to offer his expertise in the recruitment of the right people you need. He has years of experience working with gardeners, learning what makes them tick, understanding their drive.

We can help at any stage :

•   We can source a range of candidates for your position.

•   We can interview a shortlist of candidates at first interview stage to judge their technical suitability. You can then interview on a personal level at second interview stage.

•   We can handle the whole recruitment procedure through to second interview and a successful appointment.

 

 

 Machinery Management

 

Machinery is essential for top quality maintenance of ANY garden but especially so in a large country garden. Long gone are the halcyon days of the Victorian and Edwardian eras when even a modest country garden had an army of retainers.

These days the number of machines available for a specific job are a thousandfold. With this in mind it is essential to select the right machine for the job. With quality machines costing thousands of pounds, if you choose unwisely, big mistakes can be made.

We can advise you in your selection. Assessmernts can be made for your needs on a 12 month calender year. This will include consideration on wether to upgrade, sell off old machines or hire machines at specific times.
