Woodlodge Products Ltd has confirmed that it has become the UK distribution partner for Artevasi products from 1 April 2026, ensuring continuity of supply and service for customers across the UK.

The move reinforces Woodlodge’s commitment to delivering best-in-class service levels for UK garden centres, supported by its established national distribution network and award-winning merchandising team.

To ensure a smooth transition for retailers, Woodlodge has taken proactive steps to support customers throughout the changeover period, including expanding its merchandising capability by welcoming a number of experienced merchandisers into the Woodlodge team in key strategic regions across the UK. They all start this week in readiness for the post-Easter period where garden centres are at their busiest.

This investment will help maintain — and in many areas further enhance — the high standards of store support and merchandising that customers rely on during the critical spring season.

Michael Wooldridge, Director at Woodlodge Products Ltd, said: “Our priority is always the customer. We recognise that transitions like this can create uncertainty, so we have moved quickly to ensure continuity of supply, continuity of merchandising support and the exceptional service levels that retailers expect.

"By strengthening our merchandising team and integrating experienced personnel in key regions, we are confident we can not only maintain service levels but continue to raise the bar for in-store support and availability.”

Woodlodge’s strategy remains firmly centred on the garden centre channel, where the business has built long-standing partnerships with leading independent and group operators across the UK. By focusing exclusively on the needs of garden retailers — from tailored product ranges and bespoke planograms to hands-on merchandising and stock optimisation — the company continues to drive increased sales per square metre and improved retail performance for its customers.

The company will work closely with Artevasi to ensure a seamless transition of supply from April, enabling retailers to continue offering the popular range of sustainable and design-led plant pots to UK consumers without disruption. 

Woodlodge also told GTN Xtra they have taken on 11 new merchandisers to support their retail activities across the country.
