Hillview Garden Centres complete acquisition of The Garden Store



Hillview Garden Centres has formally completed the aquisition this week of The Garden Store business containing six sites. It will now have 9 garden centres in its portfolio...

Boyd J Douglas-Davies, Hillview Garden Centres CEO, said: “The Garden Store business has a reputation for great plants, superb value and wonderful customer service.

"The six Garden Store sites are an excellent addition to the Hillview Garden Centre business and I am looking forward to working with the management and staff to develop the sites further.

"I am delighted that the entire team are staying with Hillview Garden Centres as their skills and experience will benefit the whole group.” 

The management and administration teams will be relocating to the Hillview Retail Support Centre at Studley Castle, Warwickshire. All 90 staff are being retained. 

"This transaction is an important step in the growth of Hillview Garden Centres," said Nadav Livni, Managing Director of The Hillview Group.

"Having started our activities in 2011 with a single garden centre, we have successfully grown the portfolio to nine garden centres across the Midlands, under the leadership of Boyd Douglas-Davies.

"The Garden Store acquisition will further enhance our strategy of establishing a portfolio of “local champion” garden centres, which offer customers a family-friendly, retail destination experience, with an appealing product mix and knowledgeable staff. I am pleased to welcome Marcus and Neil to our management team."
