There will be one Best Construction Award, and it will be made from a shortlist of gardens that have been judged “excellent” for construction. Chelsea insiders know – and the judges’ tick-sheets record – that a garden does not win gold unless the build quality is outstanding, so for many contractors this recognition is long overdue.</p>

Ayegardening is a family run company who provide garden and landscaping services in Surrey and West Sussex. Aye and Susan now join the ranks of the exclusive club of Small Business Sunday (#SBS) winners.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314224869?profile=original" target="_self"><img width="750" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314224869?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="442" class="align-center" height="331"/></a></span></p><p></p><p style="text-align: center;">Aye and Susan with their three children.</p><p></p><p>Small Business Sunday, shortened to the hashtag #SBS on Twitter, was created by Theo Paphitis in 2010. A passionate supporter of UK small businesses, Theo chose the social media platform to offer support and publicity to determined business owners. Each Sunday between 5-7:30pm, businesses can tweet Theo, explaining in no more than 140 characters why they would make worthy winners. Theo then chooses just 6 from over 700 to retweet and join the growing #SBS family.<img width="750" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314222349?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="326" height="230" class="align-center"/>“We started entering the #SBS competition back in 2011.” Explains Susan. “We think Theo is an inspirational business owner and love the advice and tips that he gives out to small business owners.”<br/>…and their winning tweet - ‘#SBS - For 5 years we have helped fathers relax in the garden with their family.’ Featured alongside an idyllic image of a stunningly beautiful garden – a fabulous example of their work.</p><p>Receiving the accolade on Father’s Day seems particularly apt for Aye and his wife Susan who run Ayegardening alongside raising their three young children. Founded by Aye in 2009, the company was built on a passion for working outside, a deep knowledge of farming and planting in Asia and an incredibly hard-working ethic. Susan quickly joined the team, and now this family run business prides itself on providing first-class, professional gardening and landscaping services.</p><p>Initially just serving Dorking, the business has expanded rapidly and now serves a wide area across West Sussex and parts of Surrey.</p><p>As the business grows so do the accolades. Last year and again this year, Ayegardening was named as a finalist in the Best Small Business Category at the Red Ribbon Awards, which recognise Britain’s thriving family business sector. Whilst in January this year Ayegardening was awarded the coveted Buy with Confidence accreditation from the West Sussex Trading Standards Department – an award not given out lightly as a number of rigorous tests must be passed.</p><p>For these hard working entrepreneurs the icing on the cake is joining the prestigious #SBS club; “We wanted to raise our profile further as we look to expand,” says Susan, “we are so pleased to be part of the #SBS family as there is such a wealth of knowledge and support amongst the members. We plan to make some valued contacts which will enable us to grow our business even further!”</p><p>Note to editors:</p><p>About Ayegardening</p><p>Ayegardening is a professional, friendly and ethical family landscape gardening business serving Crawley, Horsham and Dorking areas, also spanning across some of Surrey and West Sussex.

<p>In this its 30th year of campaigning on responsible business issues, <a href="http://www.bitc.org.uk/" target="_blank">BITC</a> has launched a one-off Game Changers accolade to recognise and celebrate the critical role that individual from business have played in driving forward the responsible business movement. This award honours 123 professionals that have been most influential and transformed the responsible business agenda over the last thirty years.</p>
<p>Stephen Howard, Chief Executive at BITC said, “We are delighted to be able to recognise some of the brightest stars in corporate responsibility through our Game Changers award. As a campaigning membership organisation we are dependent on individuals from business to help us drive the agenda.</p>
<p>Without the energy and passion of Game Changers like Chris I doubt very much if the UK responsible business movement would be quite so mature. They truly deserve this recognition which I hope will act as an inspiration to others.”</p>
<p>Graham Holden, <a href="http://ww.marshalls.co.uk" target="_blank">Marshalls</a> Chief Executive commented, “Chris has worked long and hard to develop the sustainability agenda within Marshalls and to drive positive change within the organisation and throughout the wider landscaping sector. I’m delighted that his passion and drive have been recognised by BITC in this very public way. Under Chris’s guidance, Marshalls really is delivering on its promise of “Creating Better Landscapes”, socially, environmentally and economically.”</p>
<p>Under Harrop’s direction Marshalls became a member of BITC in 2007 and his pioneering spirit and vision saw the Company become a signatory of the United Nations Global Compact in 2009.</p>
<p>The impact of his work spans both corporate and product sustainability in the UK and overseas; from reducing Marshalls’ environmental impact, being the first in the world at the time to carbon footprint over 3500 products, developing products which alleviate flood risks, driving a programme of human rights impact assessments, ethicising the supply chains, delivering the first ethical stone product range to market, and working with a range of actors overseas to improve working conditions and provide community programmes in India, China and Vietnam, including combating child labour, workers’ rights, education, pay and conditions, women’s empowerment and health programmes.</p>
<p>Says Harrop, “It’s fantastic that this Game Changer Award acknowledges and recognises the individuals who continually push the boundaries and challenge their organisations to do more. I count myself very fortunate to be in a position to influence and drive the sustainability agenda and to work within my areas of influence to shift corporate responsibility from niche to mainstream.</p>
<p>There is much still to be done, but it really is great to take a moment to recognise the contribution that I’ve been able to make. It’s really very satisfying to have this acknowledgement from BITC for my contribution in the field of responsible business.”</p>

<p>Weedfree Landscapes Ltd, based on Westfield Lane, are well-known landscape and grounds specialists which have been serving the Mansfield district and the East Midlands region for around 20 years.</p>
<p>They recently received a best new member award at Marshalls UK regional awards in Leicester after their job, which involved levelling a private homeowner’s garden, impressed a panel of judges.</p>
<p>Tim Bower, managing director of the family run business, says he was pleased to win the award and says the honour has boosted staff morale.</p>
<p>“We did not really expect to win the award, the standard was extremely high but to be judged the best was fantastic,” he said.</p>
<p>“Staff were really pleased that we won, now some of the lads are coming up with ideas on how to make things that bit better.</p>
<p>“The job involved a garden on a slope and it was quite a complicated job and involved a lot of communication with the customer but they were very pleased with the end result.”</p>
<p>The company works on a range of commercial, domestic and public sector clients including projects for schools, universities and hospitals</p>
<p>“The award has made a big difference, it’s a bit of extra insurance for customers, they trust what you are telling them a bit more,”added Tim, who has worked at the business for 10 years and recently took charge from his father.</p>
<p>“We’re already looking at what we can improve for other jobs which we have.</p>
<p>“No matter where you are or how many sites you have, Weedfree landscapes always have a specialised team to meet your requirements.”</p>

A new town square, a restored coastal path, a regeneration scheme with public space at its heart, all make a contribution to how well a community works. UK Landscaping Award 2010 is looking for the best landscape projects in the UK. They want to show the power of landscape and how they benefit the communities of which they are a part. The UK Landscape Award was created by the <a href="http://www.uklandscapeaward.org/elc/index.php" target="_blank">European Landscape Convention</a> and helps to implement it in the UK. The winner will become the UK's entry to the <a href="http://www.uklandscapeaward.org/about/landscape_award.php" target="_blank">Landscape Award of the Council of Europe (COE)</a> which will be decided by the COE in March 2011. The Award has only been run once before; this is the first time that it has taken place in the UK.
