The Nurture Group has acquired Telford-based Spacecare Ltd, which supplies core grounds maintenance, winter maintenance and arboricultural services. It is the Group’s 48th acquisition since its inception in 2008, and the third in this year alone as the Group consolidates its national footprint and quest to be the UK’s premier and largest horticultural services business.
With effect from 1 October 2024, Spacecare will be operating under the Nurture Landscapes brand, continuing its commitment to exceptional service delivery.
Founded originally as Keann (UK) Ltd in September 1997, the company rebranded as Spacecare Ltd in 2007, growing steadily over the years, with today more than 700 client sites and more than 200 colleagues operating from seven locations nationwide. The £9 million turnover business has built an enviable reputation for its first-class service, reflecting its robust growth and dedication to quality.
Peter Fane, executive chairman of the Nurture Group said: “We are thrilled to welcome Spacecare to the Nurture Group. Spacecare is a well-reputed national provider whose services align perfectly with and complement our existing offerings. This acquisition not only enhances our nationwide presence but also ensures that Spacecare’s established clients alongside the Nurture Group’s existing clientele will continue to benefit from exceptional service delivery.”
Chris Hicks, managing director of Spacecare Ltd, said: “We are delighted to become part of the Nurture Group. Our shared values and commitment to service excellence make this a natural fit, ensuring that our clients continue to receive the premier standards of service they have come to expect. We look forward to integrating into and contributing towards the continued success.”
As a Real Living Wage employer since 2023, Spacecare’s integration underscores a shared dedication to employee welfare and service excellence. This acquisition represents a significant milestone in the Nurture Group’s ongoing expansion and commitment to providing top-tier horticultural and green workplace services across the UK.
