The administrators acting on behalf of the ailing Home & Garden Group, which owns nine garden centres in the UK, have told GTN Xtra that they are trying to sell the business as a going concern.
“The first priority is to preserve jobs,” said Josh Voulters, National Communications Manager for Mazars.
Home & Garden Group, which employs a total of 164 staff at its nine centres, went into administration on March 27.
The group owns the following centres:
Rutland Garden Centre, Oakham
Leighton Buzzard Garden Centre, Bedfordshire
Willington Home and Garden
Ise Garden Centre, Kettering
Stansted Park Garden Centre, Rowlands Castle
David's Nurseries, Worcester
Shopwhyke Garden Centre, Chichester
Plowmans Garden Centre, Bournemouth
Floralands Garden Centre, Nottingham
The administration is being handled by Adam Harris in Mazars’ London office and by Patrick Lannagan in Manchester.
