The class of 2025 walked the stage at this year’s FutureScape, held at Excel London, to collect their Pro Landscaper 30 Under 30: The Next Generation, in association with Green-tech award. 

After the winners were announced last month, they joined Pro Landscaper’s deputy editor Bethany Vann in the awards hall on Wednesday 8 October in celebration of their achievements. Vann comments on the success of the afternoon:

“For 10 years we’ve proudly shone a spotlight on the incredible young talent within our industry. The class of 2025 is an example of why we launched this initiative; showcasing the feats of success that can be achieved with dedication and passion.

“They, like those who have won before them, are the future of our industry and I very much look forward to seeing all that they achieve in the years to come.”

Emily Fuller, garden designer at Tony Benger Landscaping says she is “ecstatic and honoured to be a part of this event with so many successful people”.

Thomas Pearson, founder of Tom’s Yard highlights that “it’s nice to feel like rural businesses and young rural entrepreneurs are not being left out of the spotlight,” as Fraser Sheridan from the Outdoor Room says he is “buzzing to get the recognition”.

Brothers, who were both awarded whilst working under different brands, Luke Coleman of Luke Coleman Garden Design and Joe Coleman from Landscape Associates both comment on the occasion:

“I’m very proud and pleased to receive the award, which is an excellent launchpad for our careers ahead. With a lot of weight on our shoulders, I believe in the people in this room who can keep pushing this momentum forward,” explains Luke Coleman.

“It’s an incredible honour to be given this award, especially alongside my brother as it feels extra special,” adds Joe Coleman.

Sam Galloway of Sam Galloway Studio says the award is “a great platform to be able to champion lots of different voices within the industry”.
