Pat Flynn, the publisher of Garden Trade News, is to take on an additional role as trade association manager of PetQuip with The Federation of Garden & Leisure Manufacturers Ltd, whilst continuing in her role at The Garden Communication & Media Company (TGCMC), owners of GTN, Garden Radio and The Greatest Awards.
Over the past 10 years Pat has developed commercial revenues and new business for TGCMC and this new role with PetQuip allows her to extend her talents into a different market utilising her organisational skills and the experience she has gained as Chairman of the Commercial Horticultural Association.
