The Greatest Garden Centre Team at Christmas are Brookside and Endsleigh Sponsored by Arena
Brookside (small centre) and Endsleigh Garden & Leisure (large centre) struck gold in The Greatest Garden Centre Team at Christmas category, as voted for by the public.
"This was the last award to be presented but it was well worth the wait," said Valerie Kempster, of Endsleigh Garden & Leisure.
"And what makes it even more special is the fact that it's the customers who voted for us. It's just fabulous. The whole team will be delighted when I call them.
"Customers say our Christmas display is better than what they see in Harrods, better than anything in America. We try to give it the wow factor and this award is proof that we're achieving our goal. We try to give our centre some theatre at Christmas and it makes customers want to visit us as a destination.
"There's no doubt that our sales at Christmas have helped the centre pull back the revenues after the awful summer weather. It was a good second half of the year, and now winning this award is the best start to a new year."
