Thompson & Morgan has reiterated its commitment to retailers following the recent BVG takeover by multi-channel retailer BVG.

Chief executive Iain Burgess said: “BVG is a truly multi-channel retailer and 33% of our business is through retail outlets. We totally support T&M’s retail seed business and we’re fully invested in boosting this vital side of its business – we see it as an area of substantial potential growth.”

T&M’s head of operations, Mark Tibbenham, added: “We will not be leaving our valued retailers in the lurch! A key part of BVG’s interest in purchasing Thompson & Morgan was to enhance its retail offering, and we’re already working together to do just that.”

T&M’s 2018 retail seed range launches in mid-May.
