New Contract - Dorchester Hotel
Another great win in April was the Dorchester Hotel. This world famous 5 star hotel on London's Park Lane has been the mainstay of the rich and famous for decades. The hotel and its grounds have now been granted landmark status.
The quality of their grounds is of upmost importance and like the service provided throughout the rest of the hotel, is expected to be of the highest standard possible. Attention to detail is paramount with the front lawn and gardens being regularly pictured in national
newspapers and magazines.
As well as requiring the highest standards, the Hotel also expects the grounds to be maintained with the least environmental impact possible. Nurture have been able to deliver this through the use of LPG vehicles and mowers as well as bedding plants in biodegradable pots.
