SETTING THE STANDARD – WEATHER IT JOINS THE APL AND HTA
Weather It has joined the APL (Association of Professional Landscapers), and the HTA (Horticultural Trade Association) and is excited about what this means for the company’s future and clients. Let’s dive into what joining these associations and gaining the accreditations mean moving forward.
What Are the HTA and APL?
The HTA
The HTA is a leading organisation that represents and supports businesses in the horticultural sector by providing industry guidance, training and networking opportunities. It helps members to stay up to date with best practices, market trends and sustainability initiatives. Having HTA membership shows that a company has a strong commitment to quality, environmental responsibility and customer service and it ensures businesses keep up their expected high standards and contribute to a greener, more sustainable future. The association also has a greater role in shaping government policies and advocating for the interests of those who work in the industry.
The APL
The APL is part of the HTA and it offers accreditation specifically to landscaping businesses that meet strict quality, safety and ethical guidelines. Having APL accreditation means that Weather It has to undergo annual inspections to ensure it is reliable, skilled and committed to delivering top-tier landscaping solutions – meeting benchmarks in specific areas such as design, construction and customer service.
