New headline sponsor announced for the APL Awards 2027

 

The Horticultural Trades Association has announced that Landscapeplus will be the new headline sponsor of the Association of Professional Landscapers Awards 2027.

 

As the headline sponsor, Landscapeplus will have prominent visibility among the UK’s leading landscaping and horticulture professionals. The APL Awards are a flagship event in the landscaping and design calendar, consistently sold out in recent years, celebrating the very best in innovation, quality, and craftsmanship. This positions sponsors alongside the highest standards in the industry.

 

Phil Tremayne, APL General Manager, said:

“I’m delighted that Landscapeplus has joined as the headline sponsor of the APL Awards 2027. They are an incredible supporter of the landscaping industry and have championed us for many years, both at shows and at the WorldSkills UK Competition. Landscapeplus is a great fit for the APL Awards, so I’m looking forward to working together.”

 

Landscapeplus is a trade-only supplier of lighting, irrigation, and water feature brands and systems. It helps industry professionals create beautiful gardens by building long-term, trust-based relationships - putting gardens at the heart of everything they do.  With over 25 years of experience in the industry, Landscapeplus takes pride in being “so much more than a supplier” by sharing knowledge, providing exceptional support, and stocking the very best products and systems. 

 

Sam Cox, Director of Sales from Landscapeplus, said:

“As long-standing APL supporters, we're proud and excited to be sponsoring the 2027 awards.  We look forward to celebrating our incredible industry alongside new and existing customers.”

 

Currently, the judges are visiting and reviewing 130 shortlisted projects for the prestigious awards, which celebrate and recognise excellence in the industry and honour the outstanding work of the HTA’s specialist landscaper and designer members over the past year. A panel of respected industry professionals will select the very best projects to advance to the final round.

 

The APL Awards ceremony will be held at The Brewery in London on Friday 12 March 2027, where the winners in each category will be announced.
