It’s part of our mission to get more people outside and green the grey in our cities and we know adding beautiful planters and softening an urban landscape are great ways to achieve this. They create colorful and welcoming spaces for communities that people want to spend time in and enjoy. Working on any upcoming schemes? Here are five reasons why you might want to consider greening the grey too!
2020, the year for hand washing, zoom calls and social distancing. But getting people outside continues to be a really important part of our mission and if lockdown confirms anything; it’s how precious our outdoor spaces are and their importance for our mental and physical well-being.
The UK has relied on overseas supply chains for street furniture for a long time but the desire for greater quality, the need to reduce lead times and the desire to reduce carbon footprint are just a few of the reasons why this model is now in question. As one of the leading street furniture suppliers, we are fully committed to sourcing materials and manufacturing in the UK.
