ISSUE 18 | APRIL 2016 nurturenews Welcome Welcome to the latest edition of Nurture News. With the busy Winter gritting season behind us we enjoy the first changes in the landscape as the Spring buds begin to blossom. As Nurture continues to evolve, with new staff and premises integrated into the business, we still retain the culture, the family atmosphere and the passion for horticulture that has always been at the heart of our company. With over 185 mobile teams spread across the country, we allow ourselves a greater geographical reach giving us the ability to provide a truly national service. I am looking forward to seeing many of you at our annual Management/Office companywide meeting in April, giving us a chance to reflect on our past year’s achievements and to look forward to the year ahead. It’s always a pleasure to hear about the achievements our teams have accomplished with our clients. Each goal is a stepping stone on the road of continuous improvement, and we will be building on our success with even more ambitious targets. Peter Fane Managing Director With 23 colonies in 11 apiaries right across the country Nurture is responsible for the welfare of over one million bees. And rising. The expansion in apiaries spans varied locations from the lakeside in Theale Business Park and Birmingham Business Park to the roof of the Capital One Building in Nottingham City Centre. Five hives are shortly to be installed at Cranfield University for observation and analysis by PhD students. On each site Nurture and its clients take a range of practical measures to protect pollinators by reducing the amount of pesticides used and planting wild flower areas. Customers not only benefit from having the hives in visible locations, harvesting honey and helping pollinators but also from the range of beekeeping events, providing an insight into the magical and mysterious world of bees. Bee Popularity Soars to New Heights
