We Won ‘Best Destination Garden Centre’ in Wales & West
We’re over the moon to announce that on the 28th of July 2022 we were awarded ‘Best Destination Garden Centre in Wales and West’ at the annual Wales & West Area Garden Centre Association (GCA) Awards.
As well as this prestigious top prize, we also collected another five awards which included ‘Best Customer Service’, ‘Best Garden Products Retailer’, ‘Environment and Sustainability Award’, ‘Ruxley Rose Plant Area Shortlist’ and ‘Barton Grange Creativity & Innovation Award.’
Katie Eckley, our Director of Operations said, “We are thrilled to have been awarded ‘Best Destination Garden Centre’ in Wales and the West.
“Thank you to the team for making this happen. Having won ‘Best Garden Centre’ in the Wales and West 9 years running previously, it’s an honour to have moved up to the destination category this year and to go straight to the top spot. We couldn’t be prouder of our achievement, which is perfect praise for our amazing, creative, hard-working team.
“We strive to deliver the very best experience for our customers and the biggest reward is seeing them enjoy their time with us. We couldn’t have achieved this without the support of our loyal customers over the years.
“We are extremely proud of the team’s achievements at this years’ GCA regional awards. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome and look forward to the national UK results in a few months’ time.”
The GCA represents over 200 garden centres nationwide. Through sharing information and its inspection programme the GCA helps members to achieve high standards in customer service, plant quality and reliability. The awards are decided by the results of the annual inspections, which take place at all GCA garden centres. Garden centres have no advance warning about when their inspection will take place and they do not have the option to turn away the inspector.
Thank you to everyone who’s supported us over the years. We wouldn’t be where we are today without your continued loyalty; it’s greatly appreciated and we can’t thank you enough. We’re looking forward to seeing where we go from here!
