Southern-based NAO Landscapes has reached new milestones ahead of its seventh anniversary this month.

The company has “experienced growth in all areas,” says NAO director Lucy Osman. It has reported a 100% increase in turnover in the last 12 months, with employee numbers doubling.

Originally based in Kent, the company has now expanded into central London, with two contracts in the pipeline this year at the circa £5m mark.

“We always aimed to get to the size where we could handle these types of large scale commercial projects.

“We hope to see continued growth over the next year with several other large projects in the pipeline, as well as more industry professionals joining our senior management team.”

The company celebrated its growth with “crazy golf, pizza and personalised NAO cupcakes.”
