Green-tech has been named as one of three finalists for the 2015 Press Business Awards Large Business of the Year.

The awards are in their 25th year and receive entries for 14 categories from businesses across North and East Yorkshire.

Laura Knowlson, business editor of The Press, said:

“The outstanding level of entries we have received made selecting a shortlist a very difficult task for the judges. We had a number of very tough categories in which it was hard to pick just three finalists, especially the Large Business of the Year award, where every entry was worthy of a place on the shortlist."

Green-tech goes up against Portakabin and Simpson (York) in the Large Business of the Year category. They will now be visited by judges to decide the overall winner, which is due to be announced at a black-tie dinner on 19th November.

Earlier this year Green-tree also featured in the York Press’ Top 50 SME list in the York and North Yorkshire region cementing its place as a business leader within the region.

 Commenting on this news Managing Director, Rachel Kay said;

“We are thrilled to be a finalist in these prestigious regional business awards. Green-tech is a progressive business and we work really hard to offer our customers the best products, prices and service that we can.  We are a large employer in this region and continue to invest in developing our people as well as the business.  We are moving our entire operation next month to a new purpose built office and warehouse facility that we have commissioned close to the A1 motorway and have plans to expand the workforce further.

"Not strictly the purists method but had customers who prefer not to use moss killer which discolours the lawn or just prefer an organic approach .

"Yes that photo shows you would struggle to find anything less suitable to cut that particular hedge from. I have a large tripod and it only gets used several times per year, perfect for certain jobs but for day to day use more of a hindrance"

My chooice is to scarify, overseed then top dress using Field 4 organic dressing, it's bloody brilliant.
