Nice to see Mick Gammage win (again). Excellent work as always
thank you Graeme that's very kind of you
it was a fantastic evening hosted by Dave Jessop from Marshalls and we were very fortunate for the third year in a row to receive a national award this time for one of our driveways
Along with lots of Marshalls key staff members who we communicate with on a regular basis was Peter Hallitt Marshalls director who I have met a couple of times at previous awards but also the Marshalls new chief executive Martyn Coffey was present too which I think is superb of him offering support to the Marshalls Accredited Landscapers
Great to hear it was special night and nothing less than expected from Mick - well done
(from Room 206 ;)
thank you Gary and i raise my glass to your hospitality from room 206
Mike Long of Genesis Landscapes, based in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk won ‘Marshalls Contractor of the Year’ after scooping the category top prize for ‘Best Engineering Achievement’ and was presented with a brand new Toyota Hilux pickup truck and a stone trophy.
Genesis Landscapes also received a highly commended award for ‘Best Patio Transformation over 35m²’.
This year, for the first time, all the award finalists were able to cast their vote for the 11 category winners and their overall contractor of the year through an anonymous online poll.
The national awards attracted over 600 project submissions from 240 landscape contractors and driveway installers from Marshalls’ network of members.
Mike said: “I am delighted to have been voted the overall winner by my fellow landscaping professionals on the Marshalls Register. It really does mean a lot to me that my hard work has been recognised by the best in the business.
“I thank Marshalls for their support and for my brand new Toyota Hilux which I will drive with pride.”
David Jessop, Operations Manager of the Marshalls Register said: “Huge congratulations must go to Mike and his team. The winning project was absolutely stunning and really has the ‘wow’ factor. The standard this year was the highest yet and so it really is a fantastic achievement.
