Property Company

Client - Orbit Developments

As commercial office plant installation was the beginning of Tropica's story in early 2006 where Rick Simpson, co - Director of Tropica installed and cared for thousands of living plants for more than a dozen years, building a solid base of corporate clients, particularly from the property management sector was a key part of the broad business plan.

As their retail space in Wilmslow is as much a showroom as a shop, once inside the team from Orbit knew that the passion and attention to detail all around them would help " Green up" the many offices in their group and equally important the schemes provided would be bespoke. 

There can never be a one size fits all solution to any atrium or office area as light consideration is just one key factor determining how a plant scheme should both look and feel. For each of the numerous offices that have enjoyed a living plant makeover a visual presentation was made and plans aligned with the clients knowledge of the premises and their own clients. 

Key for both Orbit and Tropica was creating a bi-weekly maintenance service that ensured that not only do the plants maintain their initial visual appeal, but using Rick;s considerable experience six months or twelve months after installation the plants have grown into their surroundings. With good management, pruning and feeding through the various seasons every scheme will continue to evolve and ensure all the tenants in their considerable estate feel the wellbeing, acoustic and air quality benefits that bringing nature indoors creates.
