What Green-tech does

Green-tech (legal entity Greentech Limited) is a UK-headquartered B2B wholesale distributor of tree planting, landscaping, forestry, and garden products, founded in 1990 and now operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Origin Enterprises plc within the parent's Living Landscapes division. The company sells an extensive catalogue of professional-grade supplies — Tubex and Rainbow tree shelters, TreeParker urban tree pit systems, geotextiles (Terram), green roof substrates, soils and growing media, planting stock, wildflower and grass seeds, fencing, irrigation (Mona, Rainbird), and ground reinforcement — alongside its own GT Range branded products. It also operates a Tree Shelter Recycling Scheme that creates a circular-economy service layer around physical product sales.

The business is operated from a headquarters and main warehouse at Rabbit Hill Business Park, Arkendale, Knaresborough (HG5 0FF), with a secondary depot opened in 2026 at Eglinton, Londonderry to serve the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Go-to-market is sales-led B2B, targeting landscape contractors, foresters, woodland managers, local authorities, grounds maintenance professionals, architects, and property developers; ordering is fulfilled through a full e-commerce storefront with publicly listed unit pricing, a dedicated direct-sales phone/email team, trade accounts, and quote-based pricing for bulk and bespoke work. Marketing combines a case-study library (118+ projects), downloadable technical brochures, LinkedIn/Instagram/Facebook presence, email newsletters, and active participation in industry exhibitions.

Revenue is generated through hardware sales of catalogue and bespoke products, with pricing tiers ranging from £0.28 per Tubex Vole Guard to £182.70 for premium tree tie systems, plus multi-year contract quotes for large planting schemes and a recycling-collection service. The company holds ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications and BASIS registration, and is led by Managing Director Kris Nellist. No public financials are disclosed; no AI/ML, proprietary software platform, or technology-development activity is indicated — the moat sits in distribution scale, brand relationships, and specification presence rather than technology.
