background

fountains was originally established as a forestry management operation in South West England in 1957 trading under the name of Fountain Forestry. The forestry management base grew substantially during the 1970s with further operations in England, Wales and Scotland.

By 1980 the forestry management operations had been extended to north east USA. During the 90s, operations diversified substantially outside of forestry. Specialist vegetation management contracts for the Utilities and Transport industries began followed by substantial contracts within the grounds maintenance sector.

Through new contract wins, we have built upon our traditional core services to offer all of our customers a more complete approach through a framework of consultancy, project management and technical delivery skills. We have found over the years that customers constantly seek efficiencies to compete in their own core markets, procuring more services through a reduced number of suppliers. To support this, fountains offer customers a model of a single source, managed services provider.
