Corby + Fellas implement WinRetail at three garden centres
GTN Xtra Promotion

 

The Corby + Fellas team had a productive week on the road, implementing WinRetail software at three distinct garden centres – Chepstow Garden Centre, Norton Garden Centre, and Iron Acton Garden Centre.

 

Chepstow Garden Centre opened in 2002 and quickly became a key part of its community. In 2006, they expanded by opening Newhall Farm Shop. This shop helps them support local farmers and offer fresh, high-quality local produce.

 

Established in 2003, Norton Garden Centre has built a strong reputation on its unwavering commitment to excellent customer service. Its consistent dedication to this core value has fuelled its growing popularity over the years. In 2020, Norton Garden Centre underwent a significant refurbishment, which included the addition of a brand-new 68-seat cafe and a modern canopied area for plants.

 

Opening its doors in the spring of 2010, Iron Acton Garden Centre is the newest addition to this group of garden centres. While the site originally functioned as a garden centre, it underwent an extensive transformation, including a substantial extension and a complete rebranding before its relaunch. Since then, the centre has continually invested in improvements, evident in its new walkways, enhanced displays, and a refreshed Garden Cafe.

 

Corby + Fellas are delighted for collaborating with such a vibrant and dedicated group of garden centres. The successful implementation of WinRetail across these locations signifies a significant step forward in enhancing their operational efficiency and supporting their ongoing success in the horticulture industry.

 

From owner James Boyle: “I’d like to say what a pleasure it was to welcome your team to our sites. They worked efficiently, diligently and were courteous, friendly, and respectful at all times. They are a credit to your company. Please pass on my thanks to all of them and to the ones that we didn’t meet.”
