Nicholas Marshall returns... again

Nicholas Marshall is making a return to Garden Centre retailing at Lavershot Barns, Windlesham, Surrey.

 

The Country House Group, to which Nicholas Marshall was appointed a Director in February 2021, has become the latest concession to install at the Laverstock Barns scheme where they operate the plant department.

 

GTN Xtra understands the brief at Laverstock Barns, owned by the Wooldridge Group, was to create a fully tenanted garden centre to appeal to a high net worth demographic.

 

Concessions and businesses on site include:

  • Lakeland
  • Seasons Farm Shop
  • Seasons Kitchen
  • Maidenhead Aquatics
  • Pavilion Interiors
  • White Stores
  • Replay Golf
  • Pools & Spas Windlesham
  • Lush Landscapes
  • The Country House Group
  • Car Wash

Lorrie Robertson, who worked with Nicholas Marshall at The Garden Centre Group (renamed Wyevale Garden Centres) and at Dobbies, has been a Director of The Country House Group since May 2018.

 

On the Country House Group website it says: "We are developing and building a network of plant centres, estate farm shops, restaurants and children’s play areas at some of the finest historic country houses and estates in the UK, supporting the best of British products. We are resolutely committed to environmentally and ecologically responsible and sustainable practices."
