Alben Landscapes has created a lasting partnership with facilities management company, SPIE, providing Grounds Maintenance services for a multitude of projects.

Since the inception of this collaboration in 2015, Alben has successfully managed grounds maintenance and remedial works for 49 schools under SPIE’s management. 

SPIE emphasised the significance of Alben’s compelling tender, personalised approach, and the thorough audit process in influencing their decision. This underscores the importance of transparency and a personalised touch in the proposal process.

Ben Ashworth, the Managing Director at Alben, plays a pivotal role in ensuring seamless communication and coordination between the two entities. This underscores Alben’s proactive approach in promptly addressing concerns, fostering effective communication channels.

Stephen Taylor from SPIE stated: 

“I have been working with Alben Landscapes since 2015 when I moved to SPIE, and it has been a rewarding partnership ever since. We initially chose Alben based on the impressive tender they submitted, their personalised approach, and the thorough audit process they have in place.

Alben currently manages the landscaping for 49 schools under our purview, and our main contact at Alben is Ben Ashworth. Ben has been instrumental in ensuring smooth communication and coordination between our organisations.

Their commitment to quality and attention to detail have greatly contributed to the overall aesthetics and functionality of our school grounds.

What stands out about working with Alben is the responsive nature of their team. Regardless of the time or day, they are always at the other end of the phone and quick to react to any issues that may arise. This level of attentiveness has fostered a sense of reliability and trust in our partnership.

Alben has consistently demonstrated their dedication to excellence, making them a valuable partner in maintaining the landscaping and outdoor spaces of our educational facilities.”

Alben has been instrumental in diverse grounds maintenance and remedial projects for SPIE, showcasing a wide spectrum of skills and expertise. The versatility demonstrated in their work reflects the depth of their capabilities within this partnership. Looking ahead to 2024, Alben is eager to engage in upcoming projects, anticipating continued success and collaboration with SPIE.
