La Hacienda’s new showroom kick starts thriving year

As La Hacienda turns 25, the company has never been in a better position to further expand its offering, and its recent showroom opening event is just the start of the exciting plans for the year ahead.   

Taking place on Friday 13th March the showroom opening marked a key milestone for the thriving Gloucestershire business.  The special event included a visit from Cotswold MP and Chairman of the International Office Geoffrey Clifton-Brown, with members of the local press also in attendance. 

The first showroom of its type at La Hacienda’s Aston Down Airfield headquarters, the new facility is designed to provide an inspirational and creative way to showcase the company’s full product offering, including chimeneas, outdoor cooking products, firepits, garden decorations, electric outdoor heating solutions and accessories. 

Simon Goodwin, Director at La Hacienda said “It’s absolutely brilliant to be able to have a space such as this which displays our products and gives our Account Managers somewhere where they can nurture professional relationships and develop business.” 

Simon added that those who have visited the new showroom facilities since its official opening “have been extremely impressed with the showroom, with many also remarking how the full breadth of product can really be appreciated.”

In addition to investing in the new showroom, La Hacienda has also rolled out its new-for-2015 branding across its full range of merchandising and point of sale products, with the full range also finding a home in the new showroom. Customers visiting the facility will be able to take full advantage of this, including working with the company’s in-house design team to discuss bespoke design ideas to ensure optimal in-store brand visibility and inspiration. 

Simon summarised: “The new showroom is much more than just a space to showcase products; it is also a meeting place for customers, a source of inspiration, and a platform from which we can work with our customers to create an offering that will drive sales, encourage repeat business and secure the long-term profitability of their business.”  

La Hacienda’s new showroom is not the end of the company’s exciting plans for the 2015 season. Having picked up the Glee 2014 New Product Leisure Award for its innovative BakerStone Oven Box, the La Hacienda team is busy riding this wave, working to bring this exciting barbeque accessory to retailers across the country. A wealth of consumer focused activity is also underway, helping to drive interest into store as summer approaches.  

In addition, La Hacienda will also be promoting the new range of Artevasi pots and planters, which joined the product portfolio in late 2014.  As exclusive UK distributors of the brand, La Hacienda’s offering has never been stronger. Retail customers can take advantage of the unrivalled breadth of product on offer, safe in the knowledge that La Hacienda has all their garden heating, accessory and decoration needs met.
