Two years after a fire completely devastated Ansells Garden centre near Heathrow Airport the business fully re-opened yesterday, Saturday November 10th, with a sparkling new shop.

Managing Director Paresh Raithatha told GTN Xtra: "It was a great day and with only Social Media Advertising we pulled in a lot of customers and as word spreads today we are expecting a busy Sunday. The Garden Centre was empty 8 days ago, so the team and suppliers have done a fantastic job to get the stock in and on the shelves in that time. The project still has 14 weeks to go but the progress so far has been amazing and we are happy to be out of the elements and to be trading for Christmas!"
