About this business
Provides year-round grounds maintenance for commercial landlords, retail sites, offices and housing developments across Bradford and the surrounding towns. The business owns a freehold base close to the city centre, where machinery and vehicles are kept, though the work itself could be run from elsewhere. A team of 9 delivers mowing, shrub care, weed control and seasonal clearance. Turnover has barely moved from around £580k, yet EBITDA has gone up year on year from £111k to £150k, so margins are strong for the sector.
