Sustainability was also celebrated with Treadstone Products walking away with this year’s HTA sponsored Sustainability Award for its Rope Trellis. 

The judges remarked: “Sometimes the simplest of ideas are the best and this rope trellis provides consumers with a great sustainable solution for climbing plants.”

A ‘Sustainability Champion’ was also selected within each category (where relevant), celebrating the different ways sustainable solutions are being brought to market.

Winner's comments: “It’s been a very busy night for us. We have won six awards and we are very, very pleased. “The rope trellis has been an idea that's been buzzing around in the back of my head for many years and it’s something a bit different. It’s one of these things you tend to get a feel for when lots and lots of people, young and old, male or female universally seems to be attracted to it. That’s when you know you're onto a winner.”  Dean Winters, Product and Marketing Director.
