☀️ Supporting a charity close to our hearts 🚁

We recently brought colleagues from across Heathcote Holdings together for our Summer BBQ, with all funds raised from the event donated to Air Ambulance Charity Kent Surrey Sussex (KSS), a charity close to our hearts.

We’re proud to continue our support year on year and to date, have donated an amazing £31,586 to KSS.
To put that into perspective, KSS has told us that this figure could fund:
🩸 34 blood transfusions, administered directly at the scene to patients experiencing life-threatening blood loss.
OR
🚁 7 full lifesaving missions, helping KSS bring specialist emergency care directly to people when every second counts.

For those living and working in rural communities, access to emergency medical care can be particularly challenging. KSS provides a vital service across Kent, Surrey and Sussex, bringing advanced pre-hospital care directly to patients.

A huge thank you to everyone who took part in the BBQ and contributed.

🌿 Reed Cutting in action

Our team is back on the Romney Marshes to deliver this season's reed and w**d cutting programme.

Following advance vegetation clearance by our colleagues at Direct Enviro Services, our experienced operators are using specialist long-reach excavators fitted with w**d cutting buckets to efficiently clear drainage channels while working with care in these environmentally important landscapes.

Regular reed and w**d cutting plays a vital role in maintaining healthy watercourses by:
💧 Helping reduce flood risk during wetter months
🌾 Supporting water retention during dry periods
🚜 Reducing future maintenance and desilting requirements
🦆 Protecting valuable wetland habitats for wildlife

It's another example of how specialist machinery, experienced operators and collaborative working help maintain resilient drainage networks that benefit both people and nature.

💧 New funding for on-farm reservoirs

The Government has announced that the Water Management Grant will reopen this autumn, with up to £15 million available to help farmers build on-farm reservoirs.

Alongside the funding, changes to planning policy are intended to make it easier for farmers to develop the water storage infrastructure they need.

After another exceptionally dry summer, investment in water storage is becoming increasingly important for protecting crop production, managing irrigation demand and building long-term farm resilience.

FGS Pilcher has extensive experience in agricultural reservoir construction, from feasibility and site investigation through to earthworks, lining and construction.

Our recent 25,000m³ reservoir project in Kent is already helping the farm strengthen its water security and reduce reliance on constrained summer abstraction.

If you're considering investing in water storage, now is the time to start planning ahead of the grant opening this autumn.

🚜 Reed & W**d Cutting - working together to deliver safer, more efficient project delivery.

Successful projects are built on collaboration, and that's exactly what we're seeing on this reed and w**d cutting programme.

Before our FGS Pilcher team begins cutting the reeds and vegetation, our colleagues at Direct Enviro Services Ltd carry out advance flail cutting to prepare the site. This coordinated approach creates a safer working environment, improves efficiency and helps keep the project running smoothly from start to finish.

By combining the expertise, specialist equipment and experienced operators from across the group, we're able to deliver:
✅ Safer working practices
✅ More efficient project delivery
✅ Reduced programme time
✅ A seamless service from site preparation through to completion

It's another example of how working together enables us to provide practical, integrated solutions for vegetation management, drainage, habitat management and specialist land management projects.
