Trans-Continental Group: the innovation continues

Trans-Continental Group is the leading garden and leisure products supplier in Britain. Established 23 years ago, the company offers a truly remarkable range of garden furniture, lighting, outdoor music and heating related products. Brands include, SunTime, Allibert, Cosi, Infiniti, Plantation Rattan, Fairy Dwellings and Optimum Sound & Light. All the brands are well known to garden retailers throughout the UK including John Lewis, Wyevale, Dobbies and most independent garden centres.

Product ranges encompass all price points and all markets, from small independent garden centres to the biggest names in British retailing. Materials range from beautifully hand-crafted teak to Textolene, cast aluminium, rattan and many more.

The latest innovation in outdoor living, branded ‘CoSi’, was introduced in 2016 and is exclusive to Trans-Continental. This stunning collection features a range of 100% waterproof outdoor sofa sets and is constructed using Nautolex, a waterproof material that has been used in super-yachts and luxury speed boats for over 50 years. Such has been the success of the range that the company has added two new factories in Europe to help cope with the extraordinary demand. CoSi offers a three year guarantee on all products.

The company introduced the Allibert range of injection moulded garden furniture to its portfolio five years ago and has seen sales quadruple in that time. Designed to look like hand-woven rattan the collection is machine made in Europe and offers astonishing value for money. Who would have thought five years ago that a sturdy and attractive sofa set comprising one sofa, two armchairs with cushions and a coffee table  could retail for less than £300?

Optimum Sound & Light is a new range of outdoor, colour changing, futuristic lighting with a twist. Incorporated into the products is a state-of-the art Bluetooth speaker. Linked to an iPhone or similar it plays music with a richness and depth that rivals any CD system.

One of the great success stories of recent years has been the introduction of Fairy Dwellings, a collection of solar-powered garden ornaments. These charming ‘fairy houses’ light up at dusk giving the impression that fairies are living at the bottom of the garden.

Trans-Continental Group serves customers all over the world, including Australia, USA, Canada, Asia and Europe. With offices in Hong Kong, China and the USA the company’s reach is truly international. Deliveries can be by direct container or ex-warehouse.

Trans-Continental Group will launch its 2018 collection of inspiring outdoor leisure products at its showroom in Coventry, just 20 minutes from Birmingham NEC, with an open week on 10 July. Thereafter, the showroom will be available by appointment.
