Hi everyone! Bit of a different post from us today. Although we’re showing off another one of our lovely transformations 🤩, there’s a slightly different message behind this one. 🌱
At Never Been Greener, we have multiple teams out completing transformations every day, all with their own vehicles. We also have company vehicles that are constantly on the move — delivering materials, removing waste and keeping our jobs running smoothly.
Around two weeks ago, two of our company vehicles suffered seized engines at almost exactly the same time. 😅
As you can imagine, losing two vehicles overnight threw a pretty big spanner in the works. It’s probably added around 25% to the completion time of some of our jobs while we’ve had to juggle vehicles, materials, waste removal and resources.
When something like that happens, you’ve got two choices…
You can crumble and make excuses, or you can roll your sleeves up, work twice as hard and find a way through it.
And that’s exactly what we’ve done. 💪💚
Have we fallen a few days behind on some jobs? Yes.
Have we cut corners to catch back up? Absolutely not.
If a two week transformation ends up taking three weeks because of circumstances outside our control, we completely understand that the extra time can be frustrating for a customer. They’re well within their rights to feel that way.
But there’s one thing we simply will not do — rush a job, lower our standards or cut corners just to get off site quicker.
Landscapers can sometimes find themselves stuck between a rock and a hard place. Take a little longer and people understandably want to know why. Rush to meet the original timeframe and compromise the workmanship, and that same customer would rightly be unhappy with the finished product.
For us, the choice is easy.
Quality wins. Every single time.
If those extra few days mean your dream garden is built properly, performs as it should and ultimately lasts 10 years longer, then those few days are a very small inconvenience compared with the years of enjoyment you’ll get from it. 🌱🏡
Things go wrong in every business. Vehicles break. Machinery fails. Deliveries get delayed. Weather changes.
What defines a company isn’t whether problems happen — it’s how they respond when they do.
We’ll keep working hard, keep finding solutions and, most importantly, keep delivering the standard of work that people expect when they choose Never Been Greener.
Be kind. Be respectful. But most importantly, be smart — choose a company that puts your long-term interests ahead of their short-term convenience. 💚🌱
Thanks as always for your patience, support and for choosing Never Been Greener. 💚
Just a quick note 💚
This post isn’t aimed at any particular customer, including the lovely customers whose transformation is pictured below. It’s simply an insight into some of the challenges we face as business owners.
Both vans are currently with our mechanics, and we’ve acquired replacements in the meantime to keep disruption to a minimum. 🌱
