Introducing plants into an office can transform the workplace, adding colour, creating natural focal points and softening corporate interiors.

But should you purchase office plants outright or choose a fully managed plant hire service? Both approaches have their place, with the right option depending on budget, flexibility and how much responsibility you want for ongoing plant care.

When September arrives, winter weather might not be at the top of your facilities management list. But putting your winter gritting and grounds maintenance plan in place now means your business can be prepared before temperatures start to fall.

September often feels like a fresh start. Summer holidays come to an end, teams return to the workplace and attention turns to the final few months of the year.

It also makes September an ideal time to look at your workplace environment and consider whether your interior planting could benefit from a refresh.
