ROOFER Dan Matthews came down to earth when he swapped jobs and now he's top of the tree.
Dan, of Leigh, set up a lawn treatment service with his wife, Dawn, and brother, Jordan, and are now the first holders of the GreenThumb Franchise of the Year award.
The three horticulturists received the award from GreenThumb founder Stephen Waring, who said: "They are keen and enthusiastic, with a drive and willingness to work hard."
Thrilled with the win Dan said: "We're delighted to receive it, because it marks the effort and commitment we have put into growing the franchise into a successful business." GROUND FORCE: Dan and Dawn Matthews with their award
