A huge congratulations to TreeLocate on their 30th anniversary! Founded by brothers Mark and Jonny Nesbitt, TreeLocate has grown into a globally recognized leader in artificial foliage and bespoke plants. Over the past three decades, the company has developed a reputation for high-quality, lifelike trees, plants, and foliage,

primarily catering to the hospitality industry, including hotels, restaurants, and bars.

 

 

 

 

Mark and Jonny initially ran a wine and spirit business before transitioning into the artificial greenery market, where they identified a gap for durable, aesthetically superior products that could save costs on maintenance.

 

Since its early days, TreeLocate has expanded its product range from trees to flowers and ivy trails, staying ahead of industry trends. Its operations span across the globe, with major projects completed for renowned clients like Four Seasons Hotels, SpaceX, and numerous international airports. The company has also established a strong presence in key markets, particularly the UAE, where the harsh climate has made artificial foliage a necessity. TreeLocate’s headquarters in Belford, Northumberland, reflects its growth and innovation, with plans for expansion already underway. 

 

 

As a family-run business, TreeLocate continues to pass on its legacy, with Mark’s sons Tom and Charlie playing key roles in the company’s UAE operations and international sales, respectively. The company’s global reach extends to the Netherlands, Hong Kong, and potentially the US, driven by its cutting-edge product lines such as FireSilx, a fire-retardant brand, and UVSilx, designed for sun resistance.

 

 

With the next generation of Nesbitts stepping in, the company is ready to grow and expand on a global scale. For more about TreeLocate’s history and insights from an interview with Mark, please visit the company's website.
