Headquartered in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, the lawn care franchise currently has 108 locations across the UK
Neighbourly UK has announced its acquisition of professional lawn care company, Greensleeves.
With this acquisition, Neighbourly UK welcomes its sixth brand into its group. Additionally, this deal takes Neighborly’s global home services brands to more than 30 across 18 service verticals.
Neighbourly managing director Philip Carr said: “Greensleeves is a brand that Neighbourly has admired for several years. Their dedication to customer service and excellence complements our other brands in the UK. Being one of the UK’s most long-established lawn treatment businesses is a fantastic accolade. We are excited to build on these strong foundations and welcome an additional 108 locations to Neighbourly UK and the wider Neighborly global family.”
David Truby joined Greensleeves in 2004, becoming its managing director and owner in 2008. He said: “It’s an exciting day for Greensleeves and all of our franchise owners. I have been proud to be part of the journey that has grown our locations from two to 108. But it is now time for Greensleeves and Neighbourly to write the company’s next exciting chapters collaboratively and benefit from all of the support and tools Neighbourly offers.
“Neighbourly was founded on the principle of entrepreneurship and customer service, just like Greensleeves. Neighbourly’s depth of experience in the home services industry and background of growing and supporting brands highlights that this is the right next step in our evolution.”
David and his team will continue in their roles, operating the business and supporting the network of franchise locations across the UK.
“At Neighborly, we believe in the greater power of our collective, and welcoming Greensleeves to our family of brands allows us to expand our offerings and deepen connections with homeowners,” said Mike Bidwell, president and CEO of Neighborly. “Greensleeves’ range of services including, scarification, fertilisation, weed control, hydration and overseeding services have earned remarkably high customer feedback and online reviews. We are excited to help and support David and his team to continue to grow the brand across the UK.”
