About Us

Our Story: How We Started

Green‑tech began with a vision: to revolutionise landscaping and tree‑planting practices by combining innovation, sustainability, and enduring quality. What started as a small team dedicated tree shelter supplier in North Yorkshire has grown organically into the UK and Ireland’s leading supplier of green infrastructure solutions.

Early on, Green‑tech committed to driving best practice—championing tubex shelters, recycled guards, award‑winning Wildflowers, and pioneering bespoke green roof kits. As demand for sustainable landscaping products soared, we scaled our operations, built a comprehensive Trade Centre, achieved ISO certification, and expanded internationally—while maintaining our roots in environmental stewardship.

Where We Are Today

From our headquarters at Rabbit Hill Business Park near Boroughbridge, North Yorkshire, Green‑tech operates a national supply hub and serves clients throughout the UK and Ireland. Our presence includes:

• A dedicated Green‑tech Ireland Depot in Eglinton­‑Londonderry

• A growing Green‑tech Export division, shipping tree planting and landscaping products worldwide

• A team of over 100 green‑infrastructure specialists, product experts, and support staff

Despite rapid growth, we retain a close‑knit, environmentally driven ethos—committed to innovation, sustainability, and genuine client service.
