Woodborough and Honiton are ‘Pimp up’ winners
 

Roundup has announced the winners from the first round of 2016’s ‘Pimp up your Roundup’, a 3-month promotion that challenges independent garden retailers to get their creative juices flowing when displaying Roundup in store.

The winners of the March round of judging are Woodborough Garden Centre, Wiltshire with their inspirational weed display and Honiton Garden Centre with their innovative use of the Roundup POS. Both will receive a Roundup Gel 150ml x 140 unit display as well as £200 worth of high street vouchers of their choice.

Running until the end of May, there is still an opportunity to win a share of the £6000* prize by submitting photos of inventive Roundup displays. To enter, retailers simply need to take a photo of their pimped-up Roundup display and email the photo to pimpuproundup@roundup-garden.com.

Claire Rourke, Owner of Woodborough Garden Centre in Wiltshire, said: "I was absolutely delighted to discover the team had won. They really enjoyed doing the display and it's nice to give them a creative challenge to pull together on and they did really well. Sales of Roundup will no doubt increase as a result of the display."

Gary Philpotts, Roundup Lawn and Garden UK business director, comments: “I’m extremely impressed by the time and effort that has been put into this month’s entries of pimped-up displays ahead of the busy gardening season. It’s fantastic to see such creative displays from independent retailers across the country. Hopefully the winning entries will inspire other retailers to have a go!”

The remaining prizes will include two Roundup Pump N Go Mini 2.5L x 64 units and two Roundup Ready to use 1L x 116 units, as well as £200 worth of high street vouchers for each winning retailer team.
