Greensleeves named as the UK's leading lawn care franchise
Greensleeves Lawn Care has reached a new pinnacle of success, earning recognition as the highest-ranking lawn care franchise in the 2025 Elite Franchise Top 100 (EF100). Climbing an incredible 33 places to 47th place, the achievement cements Greensleeves’ position as a standout performer in the franchise industry.
Established in 2017 in association with HSBC, the EF100 is widely regarded as the leading franchise ranking in the UK. Judged by 24 independent experts, the EF100 assesses franchisors across multiple criteria, including financial performance, innovation, community contribution and franchisee support. Greensleeves’ significant rise reflects its ongoing commitment to supporting franchisees and delivering top-tier lawn care services to communities nationwide.
“This is a proud moment for our entire team,” said Cheryl Harper, Managing Director of Greensleeves. “Being recognised as the highest climber and the leading lawn care franchise in this year’s EF100 is a testament to the passion, vision and determination of everyone involved in our journey. From our franchisees to our head office team, this success is shared by all of us.”
Over the past year, Greensleeves has focused on expanding its franchise network, enhancing operational efficiencies and providing franchisees with the tools and training needed to thrive. The brand’s recognition as a top contender highlights its strong foundation and its ability to stand out in a highly competitive field, even amid a competitive and challenging economic environment.
“Our position in the EF100 is an acknowledgment of the hard work and innovation that defines Greensleeves,” explained Cheryl. “We’re thrilled to be ranked among so many outstanding businesses and proud to lead the way for lawn care franchises.”
Anita Roberts, Franchise Director at HSBC UK and a member of this year’s judging panel, praised the resilience of Greensleeves and the entire franchise sector: “The resilience and innovation demonstrated in response to the challenges posed by the British business environment is truly commendable. From navigating economic uncertainties to adapting to shifting consumer trends and technological advancements, franchise brands in the UK consistently rise to the occasion.
“This spirit of determination and creativity not only drives the evolution of the franchising industry but sets new benchmarks for excellence. It’s a testament to the strong mindset and the unwavering commitment to progress that defines the British franchising community.”
Finalists will gather at an awards ceremony on Thursday 13th March 2025 at Leonardo Royal, St Paul’s in Central London, where several additional awards will be given to brands showcasing outstanding performance – ranging from sustainability to diversity and inclusion.
