Green Scheme is 20 years old
Green Scheme [South] owner David Snell congratulates founders Susie and Nick Tawney on twenty years in the office plant display business. “We love this business” said Susie, “Keeping one and a half thousand office plant displays looking at their best keeps us active, is very sociable and gives us a daily sense of a job well done. In lots of our clients we have been going there longer than most of the employees!”
Rooted in success
20 years on and the flatbed trolley [shown below] made for Susie Tawney, Green Scheme founder, is still going strong.
Successful shopping trolley and shelving manufacturer Wanzl opened its UK HQ in Leamington Spa back in 1987; they were one of Green Scheme’s first clients. When Susie Tawney installed their office plant displays they made her a flat bed trolley to carry around watering cans plant arrangements.
Susie says “I have used this trolley constantly for twenty years and it has never let me down; it shows the high quality of Wanzl manufacturing. Luckily they are as pleased with my office plant displays as I am with their trolley.”
