Blue Diamond add Fosseway Garden Centre to make it 44
Blue Diamond completed the purchase of it's 44th garden centre at the weekend, buying Fosseway Garden Centre from Tim Godwin.
The cotswold centre was started by Tim and his family originally as Fosseway Farm Plants and became Fosseway Garden Centre in 1997.
Blue Diamond MD Alan Roper told GTN Xtra: "Fosseway is a perfect fit for us with it's AB1 customer base. Adding our clothing and home product ranges will help grow the centre turnover by another £2m taking to become an £11m site."
Asked if there were more acquisitions in the pipeline Alan said that after adding five new centres in the past 6 months (3 from Van Hage, Beckworth Emporium and now Fosseway) his attention will be focussed on the two new build sites at Scotch Corner and Elvedon, where he hopes building works will start later this year, and to sttling in the new centres to the group.
