Hellingly\u00a0Garden Services is a new company built on old skills. \u00a0The business owner Steve Veal trained under Jeremy Nicholson and Ken Sperry in the 1980’s working on large\u00a0country houses and gardens\u00a0around the Uckfield area. \u00a0This type of formal training is rarely given these days and Steve is privy to many skills that have fallen into misuse. \u00a0In 1987 Steve began a successful career in the world of Information Technology, eventually running his own software company, until its sale in 2015. \u00a0Having sold his company Steve is now moving back to his first love, Horticulture.<\/p>\n
