Since our first Christmas brief we have worked to tight deadlines and exacting standards to deliver for the club, the manager and players alike.

Our areas of responsibility are now diverse within the contract and we are responsible for the interior and exterior stadium planting schemes, the match day hospitality flowers, weekly contract flowers and, of course, their Christmas décor schemes.

Latterly this has included the annual erection and safe dismantling of 40ft ‘Christmas tree’.

This engineering feat takes place less than 2m from the glass atrium and is subject to an annual inspection by consulting structural engineers on completion.
