Having enjoyed a record year in 2025 and delivered exceptional market leading service levels for their clients, RocketGro further expands its production capacity with the acquisition of more storage capacity.
RocketGro has until now had the ability to hold 1100 full pallets of product at any one time. With this acquisition, RocketGro will be able to hold 6100 full pallets at any one time. A massive increase that will ensure garden centres always receive their order on time through 2026 however busy the year.
RocketGro are delighted to have secured enough ‘concrete,’ only 1 mile away from their production plant, to enable the company to have on hand at any one time enough pallets to fill 254 Artic lorries. Having two storage locations (1100 & 5000 pallets) also enables RocketGro to double the number of Artic lorries that leave the business every day. And being so close to their manufacturing plants keeps the Carbon footprint of transport to a minimum.
The company matures its compost for at least 9 months. Bags fresh, and stores complete pallets for a minimum time period, ensuring garden centres receive product in tip top condition. This new storage capacity will maintain that approach and at the same time embrace the needs of garden centres who sometimes urgently need a delivery within 48 hours during peak periods and need reliable supply.
RocketGro Managing Director Toby Thomas commented: “This development is hugely significant for us. This season we have managed exceptional service levels for our clients and we are super proud of our team for delivering that. Being able to store 5x more complete pallets on a revolving basis is a massive step forward in ensuring we maintain those service levels and ensure we will not run out of completed stock in 2026. We expect to increase sales by 30% in 2026 over 2025. This added space so close to our farm is a game changer and sets us up for further success.”
