Lime Orchard bucks recession says Judy Behl

Lime Orchard the garden design and construction franchise business, has cut though recessionary times with a zing!

Judy Behl – managing director of Lime Orchard says “ Since we started trading in 2009, we have grown the business, profitably, year on year and at the same time we have invested in all the necessary legal and trading framework to develop the business as a national franchise network”.

Lime Orchard has concentrated on domestic design and build projects, mainly in Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire, but has also built a number of school gardens across the country and a large bespoke roof garden in London.

“The key to our success has been close liaison with our clients, during the design process and right through to the final sign off of the construction element of their project” Says Ian Dexter Design Director at Lime Orchard.

The Lime Orchard team are now looking to push the business forward with a suitable trading partner, or through a partial or full sale of the equity in the business.

The business has an excellent internet presence and the majority of client enquiries and projects have come through searching for the business online.

This is the second time Judy and her colleagues have developed a national franchise business. Their previous business Scenic Blue was sold to Marshalls PLC in 2007.

"Plus it doesn't matter if we all know plants are better value. I'd make the point of this to the customer but if they want trough grown at the extra cost that's their choice I'd just do it"

"I've done 5ft Thorne troughs. Very easy to plant just got a mini digger dug the trench then drop them in couldn't be easier however £250 per m does seem expensive. "
