GCA confirms Wylie as permanent CEO



The Garden Centre Association this week confirmed Iain Wylie’s appointment as its new chief executive.

Wylie had been working as interim CEO since October 2012, after leaving Grosvenor following its takeover by Blue Diamond. He had been Managing Director at Grosvenor since 2005, and before that managed the aquisition and development of Garsons Titchfield for six years.

GCA chairman Peter Burks said: “We’re delighted Iain was available to continue in the role and are looking forward to the future. He has a great deal of expertise and knowledge and is very experienced in the ways of the GCA.

“He’s done a great job in the holding role and there are lots of new projects to work on such as GROW, our e-learning programme. It promises to be an exciting coming year for the GCA.”
