The Other Boss

Stacey Helyer

Rick’s partner in crime and having been along for the ride from the very start, she loves seeing the growth from one year to the next.

With a strong background in Marketing and having run very large national accounts at an Advertising Agency, she considers herself the brand police and has enjoyed every minute of creating and growing the brand.

Interesting Facts:

Loves George Michael nearly as much as she loves Rick, ‘Last Christmas’ will never be the same! Mummy to Elsie-Valentine and literally loves every minute of the crazy mummy roller coaster.

What do you like about working for Helyers of Hampshire:

Everything! It’s a true family business with family values and Rick still loves what he does, which is totally infectious…

Landscape Architect & Operations Director & Boss Man

Richard Helyer

Founder of Helyers of Hampshire, and the reason why we are all here! From a lawn mowing round at seventeen to tapping his father up to help buy said business a year later (Don always knew a great investment); his dream, his vision, and his hard work is what still drives him and this firm on today. His hands-on approach, his extensive knowledge of hard and soft landscaping and his ‘always go that extra mile’ work ethic means he’s the heart and soul of Helyers. Watch this space, he’s definitely going to need a hellyeah when he’s done!

Interesting Facts:
Tree hugger by trade (well, he hugs them as he cuts them if that counts) and a total lover of all things green, he is never happier than when he’s talking gardens or working in them – unless the F1 is on! Keen cook, crossword genius, Kate Winslet lover, and a fillet medium-rare kinda guy. He’s the better half to Stacey, or is it the other way round? He’ll let Stacey tell you that! Teenage sweethearts, they have a little girl called Elsie-Valentine – who’s well and truly stolen his heart! and is desperate to follow in her Dad’s footsteps.
What do you like about working for Helyers of Hampshire:
“It’s me, it’s my heart and soul – the whole thing literally runs through my veins…”

And, for the past ten years has been designing gardens, and has a great deal of experience in garden maintenance too. He is truly passionate about all things garden, which is probably why it’s such a good fit for him here at Helyers.

Stuart’s eyes change colour depending on his mood, he loves writing when he has the time – and we think he’s got best seller written all over him!

What do you like about working for Helyers of Hampshire:

“Working as a team, and having a boss who loves what he does probably as much as me!

As a business Helyers is always striving to offer our customers their dream outdoor living space, incorporating their own ideas, passions and desires for the area too. Whether that be a contemporary, low maintenance space to share wine with friends, or a fabulous outdoor kitchen to enjoy balmy evenings in, or advice on drainage and planting – we are here to help and most importantly make it happen and I love that! I love that everyday is different and every project allows me to do what I love and what I do best – which is designing beautiful gardens.”
