Norfolk Leisure's new partnership with National Tree Company proves to be a hit at Harrogate



Reconised as the leading artificial Christmas tree supplier, National Tree Company recently joined forces with the team from Norfolk Leisure to ensure that their finely crafted trees and decorations will now be available to all.

The first joint venture at Harrogate proved to be a huge success, with customers flocking to the stand to place orders with both National Tree Company and directly with Norfolk Leisure.

“Having been in the industry for so many years even National Tree Company was surprised at the positive reaction to the new partnership,” said Nick Anderson, Director at Norfolk Leisure. “Customers know us and appreciate the high level of quality of the National Tree Brand, so opening new avenues of supply in the UK was a logical step.”

Due to the exceptional response at Harrogate, National Tree Company and Norfolk Leisure are pleased to announce that they will now exhibit at the Spring Fair next month.

National Tree Company have exhibited at Harrogate for over 20 years but previously had only offered the leading brand in direct containers with FOB pricing. Norfolk Leisure are now able to offer the catalogue ex warehouse and DDP containers, with the added bonus of full back up and support from the Norfolk based team.

According to Debbie: “it was an easy decision for us to work with National Tree Company, our early research proved that they are at the top of their game for artificial trees and decorations and the brand would fit comfortably into our company profile and the brand model we have developed carefully over the last couple of seasons. It is a real pleasure to work with a business that has such a long history and like us very strong family orientation”

Norfolk Leisure has however had to re-think their strategy slightly after returning from Harrogate.

“Originally we had planned to offer a more limited range of products then National Tree Company but based on the success of Harrogate and seeing first-hand the response from the customers to the incomparable range of trees, we now plan to expand our offer considerably and provide the UK customers with a full catalogue. “said Nick “ This will be presented now in its entirety at SPRING FAIR 2014”

We are excited about the future with National Tree Company and hope to see many more customers on our Spring Fair stand in Hall 2, H44-K45
