Legislation, competition and the need for profitability mean that landscape businesses are under pressure to keep the skills of their staff up-to-date. A poor perception of the industry is also resulting in a lack of recruits to the industry, a problem which needs to be rectified if the industry is to remain sustainable.
Employers within the horticulture, landscaping and sports turf industries need to be flexible and adaptable – and understand that it is the skills of the individuals within the business which keeps it driving forward.
At Lantra, we can make a real difference because we understand the issues that face landscapers. By sourcing affordable training opportunities, lobbying for better communication and providing commercial development and support, we can give you access to help – when you need it.
