Barton Grange Preston is the Destination Garden Centre of the Year


Barton Grange Preston picked up another award on the final evening at the GCA Conference in Blackpool when they won the prestigious Destination Garden Centre of the Year.

The team from Barton Grange were presented with the award at the black-tie dinner in the Hilton Hotel where the conference had been staged. 

An overjoyed Guy Topping name checked every all of his team as they left the stage, and revealed what roles each one has at Barton Grange.

Guy's father Eddie said: "I've been attending the GCA Conference since 1967, missing only three of them, and I have to apologise for inflicting Guy on them."

Following laughter and applause he went on to say: "I am very proud of Guy and I want to thank the whole team for the job  they've done."

It was the icing on the cake for the multi-award winning garden centre, which also picked up the Customer Service Award, the GIMA Award for Excellence in Garden Product Retailing, and the Environment and Community Award earlier in the conference.
