the top because it was important for us to
have a diferent approach. It just seemed to

combine things. It’s a bit like building the
business again, not totally but it is. We’re
relatively young, although we’ve got this
big heritage and we’ve taken on this role,
we’re relative newcomers actually, as

Is it a small team or have you got
staff?
There’s eight of us in total. We have the
experience of our long-sufering father
who was there 40 years on the job or more.
Then we’ve got designers, architects, an
assistant architect and then we’ve got our
technicians and our practice manager.
I call upon all of those skills, it’s so nice.
They all know all the projects and all get
a chance to learn a bit of landscaping. But
when it comes down to Latin stuf that’s
where I have to get involved.
