Here's me and my sister back in the early '80's - Always building and Creating !
All About STIMPSONS GPDB - (GARDEN,PAVING,DESIGN & BUILD) -
How it all started ! ... the l..o..n..g version.
How it all started ! ... the l..o..n..g version.
Tim's interest in Landscaping began at a very young age whilst playing around with old bricks and timber in his grandfather's back garden, where he was allowed to dig holes and fix brickwork, walling and pathways along with stacking bricks to make den's from the age of just 6 years old, while most of his friends where still playing with LEGO, even building the occasional mini-Igloo's back in the 80's snowy winters! (Picture above) He can still remember his first mini brick 'den' and how it collapsed ingulfing him in a pile of brick rubble and his grandfather pulling him out of all the mess, washing him down, covering him with germolene and plasters! -
then going on to teach the importance
of a sturdy foundation and the installation of
load bearing lintels ... a VERY painful lesson,
however, one thankfully learnt very early on in life!
This interest was fuelled further when he helped his dad Landscape his family's back garden building a pond, pathways and paving at the age of just 13, the transformation from a shabby derelict overgrown garden into stunning practical family areas and linking pathways was just completely mind blowing to Tim, right there and then at that very early age of just 13, Tim knew he wanted to make people feel exactly how he did when he walked down the pathway to spend time by the pond of his new garden many years ago - so this is exactly where it all started ! - He wanted to learn how to do this for his job and build wonderful places for others to enjoy and spend time with their family, improve their lives
and the time they spent together.
'Stimpsons' was eventually formed in May 2000 by Tim Stimpson at the age of 25 after gaining considerable knowledge
and extensive Practical skills, all backed with a big chunk of Natural talent and a ridiculous amount of enthusiasm to succeed.
Tim has been involved in the garden, landscaping and building industry from a very young age, with both his father and grandfather being groundworkers and civil engineers for a Large Family Business and his Mother was a very talented, award winning florist before retiring - I guess it was always just meant to be ? - it's also not often you also find your forename hidden within your own surname ... STIMPSONS - He spotted it early on and as time went by decided to use this as a personal sign of his mark of quality by forming a personal meaningful LOGO rather than a showy flashy name that could be easily changed if a company changed hands or indeed just their name, he wanted better sign of complete trust, so literally put his name (or stamp) if you like, against all his work as his sign of trust, quality and commitment
to each and every one of his customers and projects !
Tim is extremely proud with each and every job the
team build along with him and is still part hands on !
Since leaving school in 1992, he worked initially at the age of 16 for a nursery and landscape company based in Cranham, Essex for 6 - years, Tim met his very first Boss Jeff Hedges, his commitment and customer service and management skill were second to none, he learned so much working there - especially running a
small business and some excellent customer care.
Tim absorbed all he could from the nursery, it was like a family to him and found it very hard to let go, however he needed to follow his desire to learn more on the Hard landscaping side and found a local small Paving and Landscaping company owned by Mark Day - The skills and commitment and shear hard work Mark provided for his customers were just truly inspiring, his care for his family along with his care for Tim as his only employee at the time stick with him to this very day ...
He literally made Tim a better person with his awe-inspiring Mindset on Family, Life, work ethic and running a small trustworthy Business!
Tim then reluctantly moved on in his determination for more knowledge and skills and got 'distracted' and started working for a very large national landscaping company, providing services to the commercial and domestic sectors, including the local Council for two more years before he gained enough skills and knowledge to launch his own Business - I guess from working there he learnt exactly how not to treat customers along with how not to provide a quality service ! and another BIG decision from the back of this job and decided early on by Tim is that his business would only grow big enough that he could honour his Customers the Care and Maintenance that they deserve and restrict the amount of builds
his team would install per year.
Throughout these years he began with 'hands-on' positions and quickly worked up to managerial roles as his knowledge and potential was spotted, this is when he found he deeply missed the doing parts !
This, ultimately led to Tim starting up 'Stimpsons' as he could combine all the planning, design, arranging and doing parts, along with providing a dedicated 'hands-on' personal service - to provide a perfect balance of hands on service and customer care.
Tim is proud to offer this unique 'fusion' of small, friendly and local business values together with the customer service and care structure you would expect from a much larger company -
for the perfect balance of care from first contact to end result
for all our customers !
Tim over the years has had the chance to teach all his knowledge gained to his Children, family members
and his dedicated Team of employed Staff! -
Tim's eldest son jay joined the team in 2020 and is rapidly building his skills along with Tim's second eldest son Taylor - who installs part time electrical installations and provides part time labouring,
Tim's brother-in-law Chris came on board to help with the rapidly growing family business in early 2021 and provides additional labour and logistical services to complete all projects on time.
We are very proud to have implemented NEW for '23 - our very own
in-house 'academy' style training for school leavers and quickly train them with Hard Landscaping skills - This with equip them with skills for life and opens the door to becoming a team leader (typically after around 3 years) and potentially a site manager (typically after 5 years) ... I have had many years working with labourers from all walks of life. and personal challenges
I struggled at school myself at first until I found myself within the landscaping industry - I have the skills and patience and experience to make a difference. I have been given a gift to spot the potential in people - spot exactly there Natural talents, all my staff have specific roles and importantly are encouraged to take on other tasks to develop in all areas of the business. I'm very keen to help those who are struggling and help them to thrive and develop skills - it brings me great satisfaction sharing all my skills to help others to become successful, we are essentially a Family that work
together and help each other out. There's some photos below of me teaching my children to safely use a digger when they were little.
"If your reading this and know someone who has struggled to find their way at school and have now left education and you can spot there creative talent or other potential -
yet they are not sure where to turn next, possibly they have not been given a chance due to low grades and/or
unsure just what to do next...
✓ PLEASE get in Touch, we might just have the answer."
