Ground maintenance giant acquires Telford counterpart
Telford-based Spacecare has been snapped up by The Nurture Group, a provider of horticultural and green workplace services.
The acquisition, finalised earlier this month, strengthens Nurture’s nationwide reach and service capabilities, with Spacecare’s expertise in grounds maintenance, winter maintenance, and arboricultural.
Since its founding in 2008, it marks the Group’s 48th acquisition and the third this year.
Effective 1 October 2024, Spacecare will operate under the Nurture Landscapes brand.
Originally founded as Keann (UK) in September 1997, the company rebranded to Spacecare in 2007, growing steadily to serve over 700 client sites with a team of more than 200 colleagues across seven locations nationwide.
Peter Fane, executive chairman of the Nurture Group, expressed his enthusiasm for the acquisition stating: “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, 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.”
