Oak View Landscapes scoops a Principal Award at the BALI National Landscapes Awards 2017 ceremony in London in the coveted category of Employer Excellence, making Oak View eight times BALI National Award winners.

Jakki Jenner Operations Director commented: “We aspire to be a caring and market leading employer and this award is a testament to this ambition. Over the past few years we have worked with our staff to embed the company’s vision and values across the business, involving them in the process and incorporating their feedback into the way that we reward and recognise them for their dedication and loyalty. This Employer Excellence Award is a fantastic addition to our business awards and sits perfectly with our Silver Accreditation from Investors in People“.

The judges commented: “It is obvious that everyone at Oak View has shared values that not only enable them to function highly effectively as a team to deliver outstanding customer service but also to develop as individuals. This is a company whose success and growth can be wholly attributed to a valued workforce and enlightened leadership.”

Managing director Paul Downer commented: “Working in a sector where there is an acute skills shortage, it has become even more important to invest in, retain and develop all staff for the future. We believe our staff are our greatest asset and we reward and recognise them wherever possible as without our staff we would not be one of the most respected landscape contractor in this region.”
