Water fights, high lights and tools at dawn – it’s Glee time



How will the battle for the Bestsellers of 2015 shape up at Glee?

As we receive news of all the new products and new exhibitors that will be at Glee in a couple of weeks time we’re starting to speculate on where the new Bestsellers for 2015 will come from.

After many years of low or relatively no watering products at Glee there is potential for a water fight as Karcher, Gardena, Crest and Morphy Richards throw their stones into Hozelocks’ pond. Once again Hozelock are NOT at Glee.

Garden lighting, part of the growing garden decoration category, is set to highlight huge sales potential with new launches from Smart Solar, Gardman and Luxform, plus the European giant Phillips is now looking to gain a share of the UK market.

And on the garden tools front it could be spades at dawn between Crest and Scotts Solus Brands as garden centres look forward to seeing what they have a choice of retailing for 2015.

Let’s hope the Glee New Product winners are real Bestsellers this year. We look forward to the announcements at 10.00am on Sunday 14th September.

Look out for the September issue of Garden Trade News for our comprehensive Glee Preview with detailed company profiles and the watch your in box for The Glee Daily News, first issue out soon!
