Hetland Garden Centre sold to Caulders

 

Hetland Garden Centre at Carrutherstown, Dumfries, has been sold by owners David and Karen Wilson to Caulders Garden Centres, which currently has eight centres in Central Scotland.

 

David said: “Our family business of 26 years is going to be in the safe hands of another family business, Caulders Garden Centres. 

 

“Colin and Mandy Barrie have been good friends for many years. They have a great reputation and a lot of experience. 

 

“All our existing team will carry on working for Caulders, including our sons Martin and Matthew.

 

“We would like to thank all our brilliant team past and present for their loyalty and hard work over the years and are confident that they will have a very exciting future.” 

 

The couple thanked their customers for their support over the years and for sharing their journey.  Customers who have the Hetland Gift Card and loyalty points will still be able to spend them at Caulders at Hetland Garden Centre. 

 

“We are extremely confident that the business is being passed onto safe hands and Hetland will carry on moving forward with the investment, knowledge, and experience Caulders will give,” added David. 

 

“Selling Hetland wasn’t an easy decision but after a brain aneurysm and the stress of running a business through lockdown during the dark days of Covid-19 it was time to let go of the reigns.

“However, Colin and Mandy have given Karen and myself a great opportunity in leasing the Dino Park and Soft Play business from them. This will allow us to  concentrate on the entertainment and events side of the business which is already a four-star visitor attraction.

 

“We wish all of our team and customers the very best.”
