PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATIONS

---

Jamie Jones (Jamie’s Garden Services) has obtained the following qualifications that will cover every aspect of any grounds maintenance activity that could be carried on behalf of a client.

Where ever possible, any members of staff or sub-contractors working for Jamie’s Garden Services will also have the relevant qualifications.
