Summary:

Pivoted around a Grade II listed property built over 100 years ago for a Manchester cotton merchant, Radbroke Hall and the campus grounds were acquired by Barclays in 1972. Since then, it has remained at the heart of the bank’s technology and operations that deliver the banking services to millions of retail and business banking customers. Set in 64 acres of beautiful green countryside,

The client wanted to meet their obligations to uphold a ‘duty of care’ to members of the public and staff but to also allocate appropriate budget for continued tree maintenance works. 

We  carried out the surveys using a computerized our tree management system to record the data.  All individual trees were visually assessed, and groups/woodland areas were walked and mapped. A detailed tree management report and plan was prepared including an extensive tree schedule with an outline for re-inspection within 3 years.
