Outdoor garden furniture, garden products and Decorative structures specialists, Zest 4 Leisure has won the award for the best overall new product at Glee 2020 as well as winning three best in category prizes for growing containers, landscaping and leisure and entertaining.  Best New Product was the company’s Three Tier Stackable Raised Bed – also category winner in Garden Growing Containers.  Its easy build Burghley Arbour won in Garden Leisure & Entertaining category and Zest’s Cherry Blossom arch was a joint winner in the Garden Landscaping category.

 

Commenting on this amazing result, Simon Davidson, Head of Commercial Development at Zest 4 Leisure said, “We are absolutely thrilled! The competition was extremely high in these categories this year so to win in three categories and Best New Product is fantastic.  Our team are looking forward to showcasing these winning products to our customers in the next few weeks.”

 

Best in show product, Zest 4 Leisure’s Three Tier Stackable Raised Bed is perfect for the grow your own enthusiast wanting the ultimate in convenience, easy build, and flexibility. 

 

In the Garden Leisure & Entertaining category, Zest 4 Leisure’s Burghley Arbour with its extra deep canopy had a rapturous reception from the judges, not only because it is stylish and provides additional shelter to extend the time spent in the garden, but also because it has fewer components which are more easily put together.  

 

It’s a new design from Luke Roberts, Knowledge Transfer Partnership associate and the Zest 4 Leisure New Product Development Innovation team. The Knowledge Transfer partnership with Cardiff Metropolitan University is introducing UCD (User Centered Design) and DFMA (Design for Manufacture and Assembly) principles to the new product development process at Zest 4 Leisure.

 

Joint winner in the Garden landscaping category, Zest 4 Leisure’s Cherry Blossom Arch is inspired by Japanese architecture and beautifully crafted to bring an oriental feel to the garden.

 

Steve Morgan, Managing Director at Zest 4 Leisure added, “I’m very proud of all the new products that the company launched at the Glee Gathering this year, but these are three of my favourites.
