ENVIRONMENT We know how important it is to look after our planet for our future generations, which is why we love being members of the Woodland Trust Carbon Capture Scheme. In the production of our Tide Collection magazines 16m2 of native woodland is created every month.
The Carbon Capture Scheme helps us mitigate our carbon emissions by planting trees right here in the UK. We’ve helped fund the planting of 250,000 already! Each tree planted will grow into a vital carbon store, helping us reduce our environmental impact.
The UK is one of the most nature-depleted countries in the world. Working with Woodland trust helps us to protect the precious wildlife habitat that remains and plant the trees needed to create new homes for creatures big and small.

Tim, I wanted to congratulate you on achieving the exchange on Chris’s property. Without your tenacity and extraordinary effort, that wouldn’t have happened. Any other estate agent, that sale would have fallen apart. Jack Fairweather (Solicitor)
Tim provided us with genuinely invaluable guidance in our year-long search for a home in Suffolk. It would not have been possible to navigate these choppy waters without Tim’s no-nonsense, indefatigable, and always excellent advice and assistance.
