Wyevale Elm Court gets to continue as a garden centre

Wyevale Garden Centres have announced that it has secured the future of Elm Court as a garden centre. The existing landlord, Elm Court Garden Centre Limited will take over the operations and all colleagues at the site will transfer over.

 

The positive news follows the centre’s lease surrender in July 2019. In the time since, WGC has continued operating the centre under a license agreement and worked closely with the landlord to facilitate a positive outcome for the site.

 

Anthony Jones, COO of Wyevale Garden Centres said: "We are delighted with the outcome at Elm Court Garden Centre and I am pleased to confirm that 30 Wyevale Garden Centre colleagues will transfer across to the new management. I would like to thank Chaz and the team at Elm Court Garden Centre Limited as well as the centre colleagues for their hard work and wish everyone at Elm Court the very best for the future.”
