Honeyfield’s and RSPB are going on the road

Throughout the Covid-19 situation, Marriages have supported the gardening and pet industry through high service and consistent stock levels to keep the industry trading. This consideration and care for their customers' needs during this time has extended to their plans ahead of Glee’s cancellation, queueing a new Roadshow!.

 

Marriages are going on the road with their bird care brands, Honeyfields & RSPB. The specially designed exhibition truck is filled with samples of the Honeyfield’s new range of hardware, from feeders and dining stations through to their range of Bird Tables which were launched for this season. That is not all, RSPB, who are distributed and packed by Marriages, have an area within the rolling showroom showcasing the charities range of bird care.

 

In the show-truck, you will be in an environment where you can socially distance yourself easily, there will only be one member of their knowledgeable team along with you in the space. Thus protecting you and keeping you safe. Sam Marriage, owner of Marriages Millers, said of this new roadshow: "We were planning for there to be no Glee exhibition this year and began putting plans in place to keep our customers safe whilst ensuring they are able to see our ranges for the 2020/21 season. Throughout the Covid-19 situation, safety and supply has been our priority, we know how precious our customers' time is and we don’t want them to waste any time in long car journeys to visit us, so we will visit them!"

 

Honeyfield’s are caring for the birds, their customers and the planet.

Honeyfield’s is a brand of bird care products backed by nearly 200 years of bird and agricultural feed expertise. This means that every seed mix, treat and straight has been carefully formulated and sourced to ensure the best value to the customer, the best health for the birds and the best for the planet (where possible) due to their relationship with Fair to Nature.

 

Driven by innovation and high quality standards, Honeyfield’s became the first supplier of Fair to Nature Bird Seed in the UK. This is no mean feat because to be awarded the Fair to Nature accreditation, companies must commit to, where the ingredients allow, using cereals and other seeds grown on Fair to Nature farms. This means that Honeyfield’s Wild Bird Food not only feeds the birds in the garden but looks after the birds in our countryside too!

 

Sam Marriage, Managing Director of Honeyfield’s explained: "In today's modern world, 61% of consumers say they’re likely to switch to a brand that is more environmentally friendly than their current brand. So, our commitment to reducing waste and providing Fair to Nature products truly resonates with the consumer’. The Honeyfield’s brand truly lives and breathes their commitment to nature friendly bird care at every stage of the supply chain."

 

If you would like to book an appointment to see all that Marriages have to offer, please contact your local agent or call Marriages on 0845 257 0232.
