collaboration: working alongside sister company to supply Lovell Landscapes with our Medium Ornamental Bark. The team are providing landscaping services at the Persimmon Homes Ovinia Chase development, Minster on Sea.

Our Medium Ornamental bark is a 50:50 blend of white wood and darker ornamental spruce bark. It is a 0/75mm product and our most popular bark mulch, offering a good consistent finish.

“Ovinia Chase offers a choice of one, two, three and four-bedroom new homes. Designed with family life in mind, the development also features green spaces and a brand-new play area.”

We’re once again supporting the incredible ’s annual Christmas tree collection campaign.

Earlier this week, we collected over 70 trees to contribute towards the charity’s target of 2,600 trees and goal of raising £57,000, to support people facing terminal illnesses and those important to them.
By providing our green waste collection services, we are proud to support the vital care the hospice provides, while facilitating environmentally responsible tree disposal.

For the eighth year in a row, we’re proud to announce our fleet has achieved FORS Gold Accreditation ✨

New to the team this year, Sara Roberts, our Transport & Compliance Officer, has successfully demonstrated the requirements for this high level of accreditation, which include our year-on-year improvements, advanced staff training, engagement with supply chain and sustainability strategy. An exceptional achievement Sara, and a huge thank you for all your efforts - a truly well-deserved success.

FORS Gold is the highest level of accreditation under the Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme, recognising best practice in safety, efficiency, environmental responsibility, and compliance across fleet operations. Achieving Gold requires meeting rigorous standards and demonstrating continuous improvement well beyond the legal requirements.

We continue to improve our fleet of vehicles by introducing new and updated lorries every year, with the addition of six new vehicles this year, these have replaced older vehicles in the fleet, all meeting the high specifications required for FORS Gold.

FORS also allows us to be up to date with new and developing safety and compliance data and changing legislation. Being a member of FORS means we can be confident in our drivers and fleet - sending out a strong message to our customers of safe and compliant working.

Manure muckaway:
At John Bourne and Co. we offer a range of waste management solutions. We are a registered waste carrier and can dispose of, or recycle, a range of materials from inert soils and construction waste, to greenwaste compost or farmyard manure.

In the case of farmyard manure, we recycle this directly within : supplying other farmers by providing our field, orchard and vineyard spreading services, through our retail arm and sister company and B2B supplier - thereby creating a no-waste circular economy, with locally sourced materials.

Always great to get some shots from the driver’s perspective: delivering rag stone once again to the Environment Agency for their flood prevention work on the river Ouse, near Lewes.

Our team of experienced tipper drivers can successfully navigate the trickiest of site entrances!

Thanks Graham for the 📸
