Panoramic Project: Bolder Academy

Posted by

 

Bolder Academy is a brand new mixed secondary school in Isleworth, West London. The new building has been established to meet demand for pupil places in the area and opens in September.

We have been working with Bowmer & Kirkland, who gave us the opportunity after quoting the project just after the start of the new year. We were on site within a week of receiving the order and have had a continual presence since, through good weather and some bad, cold and freezing conditions.

 

 

Alex Reynolds, the Project Manager at B&K has kindly given us a short statement on our performance:

“We would be more than happy for you to promote the work you have completed on this scheme, it is something you and your team should be very proud of! Your team have shown a real drive and commitment throughout the project to deliver on time and with a key eye for detail. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending you for future schemes within the business.”

Please get in touch for any soft landscaping requirements you have as we would love to add you to our list of satisfied customers.

Creating a green space, or landscaping any environment often requires several different skills and services, all of which are available from Panoramic.

 

 

• Turfing: Only the very best quality turf, and only the most qualified and experienced landscapers to both carefully lay and nurture.
• Seeding: Developing new or existing lawns, meadows and other green areas. We can advise on the best seeds that fit with the environment.
• Topsoil: Of top quality, to ensure that your turf, grass seed or plants in borders etc have the best chance to become established and thrive.
• Planting: Seasonal bulbs, herbaceous borders, shrubs and trees, including the careful reinstatement of indigenous plants and trees and expansion of existing areas.
• Trees & Hedges: Organising the delivery and positioning of trees and other greenery of various sizes to provide the planting scheme to your specific requirements.
• Maintenance: Striving to find ways to reduce the costs of the ongoing landscaping whilst further enhancing the finished look of a project.

We are a team of professional soft landscapers, with vast experience in all areas.

 

Paul Promoted to MD Position

Paul Hitchcott, who joined Panoramic just over a year ago as our Business Development Manager, has now been promoted to the role of Managing Director.

Having assisted in the growth and firm establishment of the company, winning new business and cementing contracts with customers, Paul will now take Panoramic to further heights.

Paul has brought in new orders valued in excess of £4 million since he joined us just over a year ago. This has helped Panoramic to grow rapidly from firm roots.

 

 

Having developed strong relationships both externally, with our customers and clients, and internally with our estimating and contracts teams plus those in the on-site crews, Paul is well-positioned to lead the business.

Paul has previously worked with Phillip Hilbeck, the owner of Panoramic, at another commercial soft landscape contractor, so has considerable industry experience, including operational management.

We welcome Paul to his new role.

 

Big Projects for Lidl Supermarkets

Posted by

 

Lidl is investing £1.3 billion in the UK including opening around 50 new stores across the country.

We have completed three Lidl projects with two more nearly finished. Working with Adston (at two sites), Wright Morgan, 2MS and Mitnija we have landscaped stores from Bognor and Southampton to Oxford, Peterborough and Southend.

The weather hasn’t always been on our side this winter but the final product has still been of a high standard. We are proud that our teams will turn up whatever the weather and make sure we deliver.

 

The pictures shown are courtesy of one of our Foreman Oleg Medulics on the Lidl site in Bognor Regis.

 

We are looking forward to continuing our relationships with these contractors and working on more Lidl sites as they work towards their target of 1000 stores in the UK. Please get in touch for any soft landscaping requirements you have.

 

Growth – From 12 Months to Now

Posted by

 

As we entered our second year, we had a strong order book, in excess of £1.2 million. This allowed us to recruit more site teams and two additional senior site supervisors, to ensure we carried on meeting and exceeding customer expectations.

 

 

COVID-19 and the national lockdown did not stop us. We worked from home and the site teams didn’t miss a day.

Thanks to the hard work of our teams, impressing clients and receiving top-quality references, sales continued to flow. Existing clients gave us repeat orders and additional new relationships were beginning.

Although our first 12 months was an incredible success, the subsequent 9 months have seen Panoramic on target for our second year sales to be 60% more than the first!
