Early birds catch a discount for the GCA conference
 

Members of the Garden Centre Association wishing to attend the organisation’s annual conference can take advantage of an early bird discount when they book their place this month.

People who book to attend the conference before November 30 will benefit from a 10% reduction in price for the event, which takes place in Chester in January.

Iain Wylie (pictured), Chief Executive of the GCA, said: “Following on from the success of last year garden centre delegates can book their place at the conference online via the members’ area on our website and qualify for a discount.

“This offer is only available until the end of the month and is an opportunity for people to save 10% on the cost of their booking regardless of whether it is for a single day or for the a full conference including accommodation.

“We hope as many people as possible take advantage of the saving to be made.”

The GCA conference takes place at the De Vere Carden Park in Chester from January 25 until 28. More than 300 delegates are expected to attend.

Iain continued: “As always our conference will provide attendees with pertinent information on key aspects of the garden centre industry to assist members in achieving their business goals.

“The information shared will focus on a wide range of topics, including merchandising, marketing and management. There will also be plenty of opportunities for delegates to network and socialise.”

To take advantage of the 10% discount, please visit www.gca.org.uk and log in to the members’ area of the website.
