Who it’s for

Built for landscaping contractors starting with commercial work

The Starter Pack is the right choice if you’re doing occasional commercial jobs and need structured RAMS and COSHH without over-investing before you know how often you’ll need them — or if you’re building a more consistent paperwork system before moving into regular commercial grounds maintenance work.

It gives you a solid foundation that commercial clients, councils and principal contractors can work with — without the full operational safety layer that comes with the Pro Pack.
