After starting his career with Complete Weed Control back in 1993, Jamie's passion for the industry was ignited. He continued to work in the weed control and grounds maintenance industry for a number of years before being headhunted to join Matrix Venture Capitalists to develop the use of rapeseed oil as a road fuel.

He then diverted to solar power installation until 2012 before once again returning to the industry, this time specialising in lawn care. It was during this period that he saw the opportunity to start his own business with CWC. Knowing the area extremely well, it was an opportunity he couldn't overlook.

"I have been comprehensively trained over many years and have all the qualifications needed for the weed control industry - therefore it just made sense. Knowing the area well I intend to expand the current contract base by raising the profile of Complete Weed Control," he said.

Commenting on the announcement, managing director Ian Graham said, "I am certain that Jamie will easily adapt to the impeccable set of standards and procedures each franchise adheres to in providing a comprehensive service of weed control, plant pest and disease control, hydro-seeding and other related services."
