Solved Any ideas what this shrub is?

I’d like to know how to trim it too? Electric trimmers would be my choice but I’m probably wrong?

My first post, be gentle with me

 

Welcome to the forums.
It may be Cotoneaster hybridus pendulus.

Cotoneaster Hybridus Pendulus - Cotoneaster Tree

Please wait..it should produce flowers very soon ....then in winter will have the red berries..
If you just hack it you could well lose the flowers...therefore no red berries.

Quote RHS....."'Hybridus Pendulus' is a vigorous prostrate evergreen shrub with large, elliptic leaves and small white flowers followed by profuse red berries in autumn; often top-grafted to form a pendulous small tree to 2m tall"

 

Welcome to the forum @Steve boyce . Of course you`re wrong - you are a man
This isn`t the right time to be trimming shrubs - especially if you don`t know what they are.
If this is a new garden to you, my advice would be to leave well alone for 12 months, just to find out what you have, how and when it flowers, and whether you actually like it or not.
When cutting stuff down, consider what birds might be nesting there first. Electric gadgets might seem like an easy and quick idea, but you can do a hell of a lot of damage with them. Your garden would benefit from the 'slow and patient' approach.... and by the way, electric strimmers kill and maim, if used wrongly, not just plants, but hedgehogs, frogs and other creatures.
Hope I`ve been gentle enough - if not, don`t worry, there are some lovely proper gentle people on here who will make up for it
