PLATFORM Housing Group has strengthened its commitment to environmental management and biodiversity with the appointment of three new colleagues to its growing arboriculture team.

Ryan Morris, Rudy Gaw and Jodie Campbell have joined Platform’s Estate Services team to help manage, maintain and protect thousands of trees across the organisation’s communities, which includes Ross-on-Wye.

Their work supports Platform's wider focus on sustainability, safety and the long-term health of its green spaces.

As qualified arboriculture surveyors, the team are responsible for inspecting Platform’s tree stock across the area, identifying potential hazards, pests and diseases, and recommending interventions that balance safety and preservation.

Together the trio will play a key role in managing Platform’s trees responsibly, ensuring they remain safe, healthy and sustainable for years to come.
