Tim Ollier has recently joined Ed&#8217;s to run his very own gardening business in <a href=\"https:\/\/edsgardenservices.co.uk\/taunton-garden-services\">Taunton<\/a>, Somerset. Although Tim certainly looks very youthful, his history with Ed&#8217;s actually goes back quite a long way&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Brand new gardening business &#8211; The Background&#8230;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Some years ago, before I had really worked out what career I wanted to pursue, I worked in an Ed&#8217;s business in Wimbledon. I loved the work and could see the freedom and lifestyle benefits of the business way back then. I remember thinking that it would be great to be able to run my very own Ed&#8217;s business, avoid the rat race and just do something that I would love and earn very decent money doing it.&#8221;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Making it all happen&#8230;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Of course, as the story usually goes, life got in the way of my bucolic dreams! I followed a more traditional career path and ended up in the hospitality sector. Although the path I was on had some benefits, I really couldn&#8217;t say it was my forever career and I always felt that there was something missing. Quite fundamentally and apart from anything else, I really did not enjoy being stuck indoors all the time!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;So, fast forward to the pandemic.  Of course, my sector was stricken. But I wasn&#8217;t&#8230;.it set me thinking that maybe, just maybe, it was a great opportunity to get out. I could possibly do something that I would really love to jump out of bed in the morning to do.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I approached Ed&#8217;s to find out about the <a href=\"https:\/\/edsgardenbusinessfranchise.co.uk\/business-opportunity\">business opportunity<\/a>. And found them to be just as impressive and professional as I thought they would be. The more I learned, the more I wanted this to be my future. Clearly, the financial rewards were there but the lifestyle ones were too. Thus I made my big decision very easily indeed.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getting in the saddle&#8230;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Now I have completed my initial Ed&#8217;s training and feel well prepared to start actually running my business. Indeed I have just completed my very first gardening job. And so, just take a look at the fruits of my labours, the before and after photos of my first hedge clearance!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/edsgardenbusinessfranchise.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG-20211122-WA0001-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Hedge Clearance Tim Ollier Before\" class=\"wp-post-1579 wp-image-1592\" srcset=\"https:\/\/edsgardenbusinessfranchise.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG-20211122-WA0001-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/edsgardenbusinessfranchise.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG-20211122-WA0001-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/edsgardenbusinessfranchise.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG-20211122-WA0001-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/edsgardenbusinessfranchise.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG-20211122-WA0001.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/edsgardenbusinessfranchise.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/0304bc3e-82c1-55d4-28d7-fb31c89c5290-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Hedge Clearance by Tim Ollier After\" class=\"wp-post-1579 wp-image-1593\" srcset=\"https:\/\/edsgardenbusinessfranchise.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/0304bc3e-82c1-55d4-28d7-fb31c89c5290-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/edsgardenbusinessfranchise.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/0304bc3e-82c1-55d4-28d7-fb31c89c5290-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/edsgardenbusinessfranchise.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/0304bc3e-82c1-55d4-28d7-fb31c89c5290-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/edsgardenbusinessfranchise.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/0304bc3e-82c1-55d4-28d7-fb31c89c5290.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It was quite an ambitious first gardening job. I had to deal with barbed wire, brambles and nettles. I also felled a couple of dead trees for my customer.\u00a0However, I got great satisfaction completing it. And most importantly, my customer was delighted.  I look forward to building on my strengths and training and doing lots more work like this. I really do feel like I am finally in my element &#8211; nature!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>We wish Tim all the very best with his new business and look forward to updating on his Ed&#8217;s journey.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brand new gardening business launched in Taunton Brand New Gardening Business Alert!
