About TLCspecs20
Landscape architect, Arborist, Horticulturist, Planning Consultant & ISO Management Consultant
I am the Managing Director of TLC Environmental Limited (SC549065)
I have been in the Landscape & associated industries for 43 years, and proud of the opportunities i have been afforded, and grateful to the people who have influenced and guided me, when others gave up on me. The impetuous of youth.
I have discovered that Landscape design and development is all about people and society and hopefully being privileged to make a difference in what I can produce for my clients, to ensure society improves in an environment that is challenging to us all.
An essential skill set in achieving this is through management and retrieval of information, use of reliable sources and the ability to know when after 43 years you can still always learn.
Everyday is a school day.
Stay safe.
