Quadron’s Team of Development Managers has once again been working with clients and stakeholder groups to provide valuable assistance with their Green Flag applications. Andrew Kauffman, Development Team Leader commented, “The award of a Green Flag recognises not only the quality of the park’s maintenance and management, but
also that it is a place in which the local community feels a sense of ownership and pride.” Quadron’s Managing Director, Clive Ivil, added, “We are extremely proud of the achievement of 58 Green Flags. Thanks and well done to all the staff who work so hard to ensure that the sites we maintain look their best not just on Green Flag judging day, but all year round. www.quadronenvironment.com/ about/awards/green_flag/
