APAC, one of the UK’s longest-established suppliers with over 50 years in business, is set to make a major entrance into the UK garden centre market.
Known for delivering high-quality, trend-driven products across multiple specialist sectors, APAC is now bringing its proven expertise – and its strongest ranges – directly to garden retail.
The company’s curated categories align seamlessly with the needs of the modern garden centre shopper, spanning:
- Christmas
- Ceramics
- Artificial and silk flowers
- Basketware
- Partyware
- Glassware
Each collection has been crafted with uncompromising quality, distinctive design, and a trend‑driven focus.
Powered by APAC’s national sales team, dedicated sales office, and a nationwide distribution network that ensures dependable weekly deliveries.
As part of this strategic expansion, APAC is pleased to announce the appointment of Hannah Shoesmith as Head of Sales. With extensive experience and long-standing relationships across major garden centre groups and independents, Hannah will lead the development of APAC’s Garden Centre channel while overseeing and structuring the wider sales team.
Under her leadership, buyers will see a more streamlined and accessible way of working with APAC, with clearer ranges, stronger category ownership and an improved end-to-end buying experience.
Alongside Hannah, Nick Davies has been brought in to help support the business in its transition into the garden centre market. Nick said: “APAC’s expansion into garden centres signals an exciting new chapter for the brand, with a dedicated sales structure, driving bold growth and unlocking new opportunities.”
Garden centres are invited to experience the full 2026 offering at APAC’s showroom in Rothley Leicester, as well as at the Harrogate Christmas & Gift Fair – Hall Q, Stand Q6. Buyers can explore new-season ranges, discover margin-driving opportunities, and meet the team behind APAC’s next stage of growth.
