LeisureGrow celebrates another major industry achievement after the Choice Garden Centre Group named it the 2026 Furniture & Outdoor Living Supplier of the Year, marking its fourth consecutive year of recognition.
The prestigious award is particularly significant because individual garden centres within the Choice Garden Centre Group vote for it, reflecting their confidence, trust, and satisfaction in LeisureGrow's products, service, and ongoing commitment to excellence. The recognition comes during a landmark year for the Choice Garden Centre Group, the UK's leading independent garden centre co-operative, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2026.
Founded in 2002, the Group has grown to encompass 65 garden centres across the UK, with eight new members joining in the past 12 months alone. Together, its members represent a combined turnover of £260 million, highlighting the Group's significant presence and influence within the UK garden retail sector.
For LeisureGrow, securing the award for a fourth successive year reflects the dedication and collective effort of the entire team, from product development and sales to operations, logistics and customer service.
Mark Nickerson, Director of Field Sales, said: "We are absolutely delighted to have been named Furniture & Outdoor Living Supplier of the Year by the Choice Garden Centre Group for the fourth year running. What makes this award particularly special is that it is voted for by the garden centres themselves. Receiving this recognition directly from our customers is a tremendous endorsement of the quality of our products, the strength of our relationships and the consistently high standards of service we strive to deliver."
"This achievement belongs to everyone at LeisureGrow. Every department plays an important role in delivering the products and service our customers expect, and this award reflects that collective commitment. We are incredibly proud of what we have achieved together, but we won't rest on our laurels. Winning for a fourth consecutive year sets an even higher benchmark, and our focus remains firmly on maintaining and improving our standards for Choice and all our valued customers," added Nickerson.
As the Choice Garden Centre Group continues to expand its membership and influence within the industry, LeisureGrow remains committed to supporting independent garden centres with innovative outdoor living products, dependable service and strong, long-term partnerships. This latest accolade further reinforces LeisureGrow's position as a trusted supplier to the UK garden centre industry and underlines its continued commitment to delivering excellence across every aspect of its business.
