eFIG Awards 2007

Urban Planters win a third of the available contractor awards at eFIG's fourth annual awards ceremony, which was held at the magnificent Winter Garden in Sheffield on 19th October 2007."I am delighted with the network's success at this year's awards. Especially as our two Gold Award winners are relatively new to the interior landscape industry, and to pick-up these Gold Awards so early on in their new careers, is a credit not only to the successful training given by Urban Planters, but to the caliber of the individuals, who have selected Urban Planters as the franchise vehicle for their new chosen careers within the interior landscaper industry", said Alan Page, the Franchise Director of Urban Planters.

Urban Planters established itself within the interior landscape industry in 1965, but have only recently become the largest independent interior landscape company within the UK, after it began to develop a franchise network back in 1996. With 25 franchised geographical areas already in existence, Urban Planters prides itself in being the only national interior landscaper that offers a truly local award winning service.
