One notable change is Glendale Countryside & Estates Management, which has increased turnover from £9.9m to £21.3m and attributed this growth to its acquisition of City Suburban Tree Surgeons as well as winning new work. Other major acquisitions include Nurture Group buying Gristwood & Toms and idverde taking over Acorn Environmental Management Group.
