We're thrilled to share that Barings Landscape Design and Maintenance has officially joined the Genshare Business Network. Barings is one of Melbourne's premier landscaping companies, with over 25 years of experience delivering exceptional landscape design, construction, and maintenance services to residential and commercial clients across the city.
Founded on a commitment to quality craftsmanship and personalised service, Barings has built a reputation as one of Melbourne's most trusted names in landscaping. The company's portfolio spans everything from intimate residential gardens to large-scale commercial projects, with a team of skilled professionals who bring creativity and precision to every engagement.
Leading Barings into its next chapter is Michael Spanos, who has been appointed as the company's new Business Leader. Michael brings a strong background in operations management and a genuine passion for the landscaping industry. His leadership style — collaborative, detail-oriented, and growth-focused — makes him an ideal fit for Barings and the Genshare model.
Supporting Michael and the Barings team is Chris Defina, who has been assigned as the company's dedicated Business Success Partner (BSP). Chris will work closely with Michael to ensure a smooth transition, providing strategic guidance, operational support, and a connection to the broader Genshare network. The BSP model is a cornerstone of Genshare's approach — ensuring that every business leader has the backing they need to succeed.
The addition of Barings to the Genshare network is an exciting milestone. It demonstrates our commitment to acquiring quality businesses, installing exceptional leaders, and building a network that supports long-term growth and value creation. We look forward to supporting Michael, Chris, and the entire Barings team as they write the next chapter of this outstanding Melbourne business.
