St Rocco's Hospice Christmas Tree Collection

Groundlevel, in conjunction with St Rocco's Hospice, Warrington Borough Council and Golden Gates Housing Trust are organising a Christmas Tree Collection this year to raise valuable funds for the Hospice.  We will be collecting Christmas tress in return for a donation of your choice to the Hospice.
To recycle your tree, just make a booking with St Rocco's by phoning 01925 579211.
Christmas Trees will be collected over the weekend of the 10th January 2015.  Once collected your tree will be taken to central points in Warrington to be mulched and made into compost - raising funds and saving the planet too!
Please note that donations must be given upon making a booking and cannot be left with the Christmas trees on the day.  We will be collecting from WA1, WA2, WA3, WA4, WA5 and WA13 postcodes.
For more information please call 01925 579211 or email fundraising@stroccos.org.uk

January 2014 News

After the Christmas break, business quickly began to prosper in the same way that it did through 2013, with requests being received from new clients and new instructions being received from our existing customers.

We have been joined by three new members of staff in January, and have already expanded our fleet by an additional two vehicles to accommodate increasing workloads. Further investment in staff and equipment is expected to take place through the first quarter of this year.

Our relationships with the education sector continue to flourish and expand with recent instructions having been received from a number of schools in the Halton area, including: Moorfield Primary School, and St Gerard’s in Widnes, where we have been instructed on electrical works, and St Edwards in Runcorn where we have been awarded the grounds maintenance contract and instructed on external improvement works.

As Langtree Group further expands its dynamic portfolio, it looks to Groundlevel to quote for the Parkside Colliery improvement works, and also for quotes and proposals for its Carrington Park site in Manchester and The Wharf in Warrington. We have also submitted a tender to potential new customer, Hurstwood.



Groundlevel’s project team this month completed the stunning property extension and refurbishment to Britannia Gardens in Frodsham, Cheshire. We have also this month been commended by a customer for our exceptional work undertaken to a bathroom renovation project at an apartment development in Warwick.

New instructions continue to come in from our local housing provider, Golden Gates Housing Trust and we are proud to have teams currently working on a number of projects in the Warrington community.

Supporting our local community also extends to delivering grounds maintenance services to the local Parish of St James’ Church, Latchford, where Church Warden Brian Carter has expressed his appreciation of our services:- “At a recent Parochial Church meeting, I explained to the members what your company was proposing to do for our church. This has now been done and everybody is really pleased at the improvement to the exterior of the church building now that the trees have been pruned, the bushes beautifully shaped and the bed really tidied up.”
