MWGM supervisor, Mitch Oakman, throughout September is running 75 miles in an inflatable dinosaur costume! We are hoping that we will have cooler temperatures to help Mitch along the way. He’s raising much needed funds for the incredible UK charity Bliss, which will help to drive improvements in neonatal care. We are delighted and proud to support our colleague and all donations and support are welcome by following this link:

Congratulations to our Contract Manager, James Lewis, who crossed the finishing line at the London Marathon at the weekend. James ran on behalf of our client, the Royal Hospital for Neuro-Disability in West London. The RHN is a charity, independent from the NHS but working closely with it, to provide the best possible care for people living with neuro-disability.

Thank you to everyone who sponsored/donated. There’s still time to contribute to this very worthy cause. Just click on this link to visit James’ fundraising page! https://2024tcslondonmarathon.enthuse.com/pf/james-lewis

In 2024 we are revving up our efforts in our quest to shrink our carbon footprint. We are continuing our investment into electric equipment and machinery, putting eco-friendliness at the forefront of our operations. We have also welcomed a couple of fresh additions to our fleet of electric work vehicles whilst our contracts managers are now getting from A to B in hybrid vehicles. With each step, we’re laying down the groundwork for a brighter, greener future, leaf by leaf!

Our robotic mower made light work of these steep banks on one of our client’s sites this week. This piece of kit also does a great job of vegetation clearance.

We always have a solution to any challenging landscape!

Following a competitive tendering exercise, we are delighted to announce that we have been awarded the grounds maintenance contract for the London Ambulance Service which is a great addition to our “Blue Light” contracts. We started the contract in April, maintaining the grounds of 65 London Ambulance stations for the next 3 years.

Along with 48,000 runners, MWGM Director, Daniel Walker, completed the 26.2 mile TCS London Marathon course on Sunday 23rd April.

Daniel developed his interest in running during the 2020 lockdown. Having completed Couch 2 to 5k he went on to regularly entering running events such as the Edinburgh 10k, Welwyn 10k, Southend Half Marathon and the Hertfordshire Half Marathon to name just a few.

His ultimate challenge was the London Marathon which he ran on behalf of the Isabel Hospice charity, raising over £3000!

Daniel would like to thank everyone who sponsored him and for his messages of support and encouragement.
