A tree surgery business in Rutherglen has proven its excellence by winning a prestigious award at the Scottish Home Improvement Awards. GGM Tree Surgery and Landscaping, founded by 28-year-old Jordan Grant, was named Scotland’s best landscaping company. This victory follows their previous recognition with the Best Tree Surgeon and Arboricultural Business Award from Scottish Enterprise in 2023.
The company, which started five years ago with just a £250 van and a lawnmower, has since grown significantly, now boasting nine vans on the road and a team of nine permanent staff. Depending on contracts, they can have up to 35 workers. Jordan Grant expressed his delight at the award, highlighting the team’s dedication to their work that led to this recognition.
GGM offers various services, including luxury landscaping in Glasgow, professional tree surgery across Scotland, and estate management for 600 homes under North Lanarkshire Council. The company’s success story is rooted in Grant’s initial intention to care for his mother and grandmother, both facing health challenges, by starting the business.
In an effort to provide opportunities to young people from difficult backgrounds, Jordan has established an apprenticeship programme in tree surgery. By partnering with Skills Development Scotland, GGM aims to support individuals in building meaningful careers. The company’s commitment to investing in the community and empowering youth has been a cornerstone of their ethos.
