From a business perspective, having such a wealth of gorgeous countryside on the doorstep means good business opportunities for the team at No More Stumps. Internally, the firm’s culture is all about achieving a balanced lifestyle between home and work. Co-founders Liam and Rico began No More Stumps as a reaction to finding themselves working long hours that caused them to miss key moments with their young families at home. Rather than be constantly asking for permission to go parents’ evenings and sports days, Liam and Rico set about setting up their own company and work their own hours. At present, it remains just Liam and Rico as company directors, but the pair are close to being in a position where they can add to the team and grow the service provided. Before that expansion can happen though, Liam and Rico will be searching for the right people to come on board. As long as someone is hard-working and family-oriented, the pair are confident that the rest can be taught along the way. Just because No More Stumps is not in a position to expand right now has not prevented Liam and Rico from taking steps to improve the business. The pair have recently purchased a new Carlton SP7015trx Stump Grinder, which is one of the most effective in the United Kingdom. No More Stumps is also in the process of ordering a new replacement for its original machine, and this will make sure that the firm has the best and most up-to-date engines that will preserve the environment better than before. Preserving and maintaining England’s impeccable countryside is absolutely imperative, especially with so much of it congregating in the South where No More Stumps resides and works. Together, Liam and Rico have created a firm that specialises, and delivers a very special service for those who love to admire the wonder and beauty of England’s natural countryside.
