Wildlife World founder steps down as MD after 22 years

 

Norman Sellers (above left) started Wildlife World in the 1990s from a small farm in Devon, by learning about customer preferences through retailing wildlife products at garden shows.

]

Twenty-two-years on, Wildlife World is now Europe’s premier designer and manufacturer of wildlife habitats and feeders, supplying to retailers and leading wildlife charities across the UK, Europe, and the USA, and exporting to over 20 countries. 

 

The UK-based workshop, offices, warehousing and fulfilment operations have grown significantly in that time, and remain based in Chavenage on the outskirts of Tetbury in Gloucestershire. The farm in Devon continues to be a valuable test area for products and acts as proof of their huge environmental benefits

 

Norman won’t be leaving the business completely – he will remain involved in new product development, which has been his passion over the last 22 years, and will chair the newly created board of directors.

 

Mark Pitman (above right), General Manager of Wildlife World, has been appointed as the new Managing Director as of 1st October 2021.

 

Mark has a 35 year background in horticultural retailing and operations with some of the UK’s leading brands such as Hillier Nurseries, and the John Lewis Partnership. 

 

Wildlife World is Europe’s leading designer and manufacturer of wildlife products, based in Tetbury, Gloucestershire. Their products cover a wide range, including; wildlife and bird feeders, nest boxes, beneficial insect houses and hotels, pollinator habitats, hedgehog houses, bat, frog and toad homes, birdbaths and sophisticated wildlife camera systems.

 

Conservation has been at the heart of their business since its inception in 1998, using recycled materials where possible and FSC certified timber. The UK based workshop where Wildlife World design and develop their unique products uses renewable energy to operate. More at www.wildlifeworld.co.uk
