Garden industry starts New Year with major changes at retail giants

What a week that was! The dog n' bone to GTN's Newshound was red hot from Thursday lunchtime and after long hours spent sniffing out which of the many rumours was actually correct our trusty Newshound is now resting in his kennel preparing for another potentially busy week following up all of the sub plots that last weeks news has created.

 

The garden industry has certainly started the New Year with a frenzy of activity as major changes take place at retail giants Wyevale Garden Centres and Dobbies, plus news that award-winning Burgon & Ball has been bought by a Canadian company.

 

Rumours and counter-rumours were rife throughout the week, especially concerning the two major retail groups. Eventually, both Wyevale and Dobbies confirmed that they were undergoing a re-structure at their head offices.

 

In case you missed our coverage of these major events we have re-printed the stories in this issue of GTN Xtra, see the links below.

 

In the meantime, GTN's Newshound asked us to thank all the readers who called in with information, your input to GTN Xtra is greatly appreciated.

 

What do you think will happen next at Wyevale and Dobbies?  Please use the comments link below or e-mail trevor.pfeiffer@tgcmc.co.uk
