Glendale re-appointed to framework

Glendale will continue to manage trees across Rotherham after re-securing its position on Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council’s tree maintenance framework.

The work carried out by Glendale will cover the maintenance of more than 75,000 trees on highways, housing estates and in open spaces and parks throughout the South Yorkshire borough.

It is the sole supplier of the 12-month-long framework that has the option to be extended until 2019.

Glendale will also introduce an apprenticeship position, which will be available to young people in Rotherham, and is part of the company’s ongoing commitment to improving employment opportunities in the communities it serves.

Andy Corcoran, managing director at Glendale, said: “We have worked with Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council for the past four years and this re-win has strengthened our partnership and demonstrates the excellent standard of our work.  We’ll continue to deliver high-quality arboriculture services, vital for maintaining Rotherham’s extensive tree population, and keep trees healthy, safe and vibrant for local people and visitors.  We’ll also continue to be part of the wider community in Rotherham by employing a local workforce.”

Glendale’s work on behalf of Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council will include a 24-hour emergency service, clearing of fallen timber, crown reduction and reshaping, stump treatment, tree inspections, branch removal and reinstatement of tree pits.
