Former photographer develops a thriving new business with Naturespace Nottingham

Former commercial photographer Gavin Bond has made a flying start to life as a business owner after launching Naturespace Nottingham in May and already securing several substantial contracts.

After almost 20+ years running his own photography business, Gavin was looking for a new challenge that would allow him to build another successful business while enjoying a more active, outdoor lifestyle. He found the ideal opportunity with Naturespace, the specialist open space management franchise that provides year-round maintenance services for residential developments and commercial grounds.

Just months after launching, Gavin has already built an impressive portfolio of work, reflecting strong demand for Naturespace's professional approach to managing and maintaining communal green spaces across Nottinghamshire.

Gavin said:

"Running my own photography business taught me the importance of delivering a high-quality service and building strong relationships with clients, but I was ready for a fresh challenge.

"Naturespace offered everything I was looking for – the chance to run my own business with the support of an experienced team and a brand that really stands out in the marketplace. The business has got off to a fantastic start and securing new sites so early has given me great confidence for the future."

Naturespace provides year-round open space management services, including grass cutting, hedge maintenance, litter picking, play area inspections and the ongoing care of communal landscaped areas. Working with housebuilders, property management companies and commercial clients, the business takes pride in maintaining attractive, safe and welcoming environments while always striving to "Do the Right Thing" through responsible and sustainable working practices.

Owen Bartor, Co-Founder & Director at Naturespace, said:

"Gavin has made a brilliant start and we're delighted with what he's achieved in such a short space of time. He's thrown himself into the business, embraced the Naturespace way of doing things and has already received some fantastic feedback from residents and clients alike.

"What impressed us from the outset was Gavin's professionalism and his commitment to delivering a great service. Those qualities are transferable whatever industry you've come from, and he's shown that with the right attitude and the support of the franchise network, it's possible to build a really successful business.

"We're excited to see what the future holds for Naturespace Nottingham."

Gavin's success demonstrates the strength of the Naturespace franchise model, which combines comprehensive technical and business training, alongside ongoing support with the opportunity to develop a profitable, scalable business in the growing open space management sector.

With a strong pipeline of work already in place, Gavin is now focused on expanding the business further and building lasting relationships with clients throughout the region.
