“The Grand Prize for Medium-Sized Businesses” is going to Ganderkesee this year. The award went to the Kreye gardening and landscaping company, which had already been nominated seven times and had already made it to the finalist last year. Now the company is one of the award winners and is only one of two companies to have made it to the top in Lower Saxony. This is what makes the garden and landscape builders in Ganderkesee so special.
Kreye gardening and landscaping began as a side business
It all began in 1996 when Volker Kreyer offered exactly this as a side business alongside his studies in garden and landscape architecture. Today it employs over 90 people, including 16 trainees, and is considered a renowned company in its industry in the Oldenburg/Bremen region. “I am both proud and happy that we are so well positioned as a team and that we provide excellent leadership together every day in the truest sense of the word,” said Kreye after the award ceremony.
Customer service particularly valued
The garden and landscape builders are known nationally, particularly for the construction of swimming ponds and biopools. “At Kreye, all services come from a single source,” says the statement on the occasion of the award with the “Grand Prize for Medium-Sized Enterprises”. With Kreye, the customer has a direct contact person who coordinates all trades and oversees the entire construction process. “A separate show garden with a biopool and sauna with plunge pool provides many design trends,” it continues. The company’s customer service is also reflected in the recurring services, such as robotic lawnmower maintenance, winder service, irrigation system and pool maintenance as well as care measures.
Corporate philosophy with three pillars
At the same time, Kreye attaches great importance to the further training and support of its own employees. There are regular internal and external seminars in various areas. A particular focus is on the training and further education of trainees. All of this supports the corporate philosophy, which is based on three pillars:
- A professional network as a huge pool of knowledge through the professional exchange of specialists
- An organizational network where the customer experiences the entire construction process as a perfectly interconnected process
- The human network – because only those who feel comfortable create a feeling of well-being
“For me, having fun at work and the strong cohesion of our entire team is very important. Together we create the perfect feel-good area for our customers right in their own home,” says Volker Kreye. The “Grand Prize for Medium-Sized Enterprises” is a special incentive to continue on this path in the future, the managing director continued.
Modernization with a fresh concrete filling station
The jury also chose the Ganderkese company because it has invested in many new technologies as part of its modernization. This increased efficiency and sustainability. Just last year, a concrete filling station with fresh concrete was opened. This is primarily for your own business in order to save long journeys. This not only saves time, it also contributes to environmental protection.
