What our Franchise Owners say:
"Really, the training and learning never ends at Greensleeves. There are regular training events all year, and we talk to each other all the time. Everyone shares stories and advice and best practice. I have new franchisees ring me all the time, asking me how to do this or do that, or what systems I am using etc. It’s really good – there might be a lot of franchisees now, but it still feels like a small, friendly, family business."
“I would say to anyone: take the opportunity!”

Digital innovation keeps Greensleeves a cut above the rest
The continued pursuit of improving and streamlining their technological services and offerings establishes the horticultural service provider as one of the most innovative brands in the outdoor franchising sector today.
The first of these improvements, ‘The Hub’, is a digitalised operations manual designed to become Greensleeves’ one-stop shop for franchisees. The Hub will allow the UK-wide network of franchisees to seamlessly share and access information relating to health and safety, sales and marketing and customer service resources to name a few, all at the click of a button.
"I'm delighted we can finally announce the launch of The Hub. At Greensleeves, we aren't afraid of using technical innovations to advance the business and help our franchisees be as productive as possible. The Hub does just that. The feedback we have received from the network is really positive, and since we introduced the system at the start of the month, everything has worked well and seemingly gone to plan,” said David Truby, Managing Director of Greensleeves.
“Using The Hub has made the admin side of my business a lot smoother. I can just use the search bar to find exactly what I want instantly. Before, we’d have to hunt through the document library, which was often confusing to use. The release of The Hub couldn’t have come at a better time for me personally. Over the past few weeks, I have been training new lawn technicians, and pretty much all the information I used to get them up to speed was available on The Hub. It’s great,” said Greg, a Greensleeves franchisee for East Riding and West Lothian.
Greensleeves has also launched the second version of their app, Greensleeves Live. The app, which allows franchisees to manage daily jobs, complete quotes, record product usage, issue customer invoices and log lawn issues and treatment recommendations, is being moved to a web-based platform. This grants franchisees access to the application from anywhere at any time. They don’t need the internet to use it, only to download their job sheet to it to their device at the start of the day.
"Greensleeves Live enables franchisees to retrieve everything they could possibly need when out on a job without being limited to using a particular device. It also allows them to access their job sheet and all the information needed to complete that, whilst also returning the data back to the CRM system, including photos and recommendations on additional treatments their customers would benefit from. The app has already proven to be a huge success within the network, and now with these new enhancements, we hope to add another string to our franchisees' bows,” added David.
After 38 years in the corporate world, I was looking for an opportunity to run my own business. I wanted a professional company that would leave me alone to get on with it but always be there to offer advice and support when it was required. With the passion, enthusiasm and honesty of David Truby I knew that Greensleeves was a firm I could work with. I have subsequently discovered that Cheryl Harper and the support team are even more incredible and nothing is too much trouble.”
Once I had decided to buy a franchise I was unsure which direction to take, all became clear when I met Greensleeves. The business model is solid and combined with the experience and personalities of the head office team I knew that a Greensleeves lawn treatment franchise was for me. I love being my own boss and the satisfaction I get from transforming a customer’s lawn is fantastic. The support that I have received has been second to none, it is reassuring to know that I have a team of business experts at my fingertips. ”
The initial support and training were excellent and the ongoing support is there for you, but not invasive. In particular David Truby and Cheryl Harper, have been great and are, just as they appear to be, passionate and professional, with a desire to help you build the business and brand. It is key to have a plan and work with it, striving in both short, medium and long term goals. This business works well, but planning, marketing, work ethic and people skills are all required to drive it to maximise its opportunity.”
“We found Greensleeves to be very approachable and flexible throughout the joining process. Their staff were always available to answer and deal with the many questions we had and they were and still are extremely accommodating and accessible at all times. The friendly and helpful relationship was invaluable during the early stages and has continued unchanged through our early months of operation”
