Blue Diamond, Scotsdales, Whitehall Lacock and Baytree set the gold standards in GTN’s Greatest Outdoor Leisure Sales Team Awards

 

Blue Diamond (group) above, Scotsdales (large centre) below, Whitehall Lacock (large centre) bottom centre and Baytree of Hilgay (small centre) bottom left, won Gold Awards in GTN's Greatest Outdoor Leisure Sales Team Awards, presented at SOLEX 2019.

 

 

Presenting the awards at a drinks reception, kindly provided by sponsors SOLEX, GTN's MD Trevor Pfeiffer said: "Across the groups we decided the winner should be Blue Diamond who have seen like-for-like sales increase by over 25% this year.

 

“For big centres we have two winners, Scotsdales and Whitehall Lacock, whose displays really impressed our team of experts.

 

“We visited lots of small centres doing a great job of selling garden furniture this year but one stood out a mile – it may have been the purple carpet – but the results speak for themselves with sales sometimes beating sales at the main Baytree garden centre, our small centre winners are Baytree of Hilgay.”

 

You'll be able to read more about the winners and see pictures taken by the judges during their visits in future issues of Garden Trade News and the e-mail newsletter GTN Xtra.
