  • I learnt so much at TASK

    “I have been doing landscaping for years so was a bit sceptical at how much I would learn but I couldn’t have been more wrong!

    Rupert is so knowledgeable, he passed on his experience in a way that was easy to understand and enjoyable too. I have already put my new skills to the test across the grounds of the hospital.”

    Mark Maycroft, Grounds Person Gloucestershire Royal Hospital

  • I’d give the course 10/10

    “I’d give the course 10/10 - Rupert's passion is contagious, he went out of his way to explain anything we weren’t sure about and checked understanding before we moved on. I felt like the learning was at a really good pace and really good value for money. It was a full-on two days but I came away with so much more knowledge!”

  • Gave me the confidence

    “TASK has been the perfect tool for me to transition from maintenance to landscaping. I run a garden maintenance company with two employees so I didn’t have the option to retrain with a landscaping firm. TASK, Rupert & Dave gave me the confidence to start doing landscaping jobs and now we are in the middle of our first paving job at the Bristol Botanic Gardens!”
