AMES has today announced that Antony Harker will step down as Managing Director of its operations in the UK and Ireland.

After nearly 2 years of hard work under Antony’s leadership, the AMES UK team are rightly proud of their achievements; delivering the business integration of Kelkay, La Hacienda and Anchorfast Products (now Woodshaw), transforming brands, refocusing core categories and launching into completely new market segments. Culminating in a record-breaking Glee, with over 100% uplift achieved on early pre-season orders.

Antony sold Kelkay Ltd in 2018 to Griffon Corporation, a US public company with approximately USD$2billion annual revenue. Antony has spent the last 30 years within the UK garden centre sector and has recently chosen to make an investment in the British Garden Centre Group. The AMES Corporation has invited Antony to take on a strategic advisory role for the global AMES business, which holds market leading positions in the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

Talking of the changes, Antony said, “I have complete confidence that my transition comes at the perfect time for the team here at AMES UK, as we conclude our financial year and go in to 2020 with fantastic prospects. AMES and Griffon have been hugely supportive and their continued commitment demonstrates the opportunities they see in the UK market and just how serious they are about the group’s long-term growth and expansion plans. I’m really looking forward to this new chapter and I have no doubt that the business will continue to go from strength to strength.”

Out of the 145 Wyevale Garden Centres put up for sale at the end of May 2018, 129 have been sold as garden centres and 16 sold for development or closed (2 of these will be run as garden centres for up to 2 years by British Garden centres before being developed.)

The trading sites were bought by 31 different businesses. British Garden Centres and Dobbies have each bought 37 centres with Blue Diamond buying 16 sites, Hilliers 5 sites and In-Excess 4 centres.

Using the "offers based on prices" listed by Christie & Co in May 2018, Dobbies spent almost £240m on 20 freehold sites and 17 leasehold garden centres. British Garden Centres purchases total up to £57.5m of which 18 are freehold and 19 leasehold. The Blue Diamond sites were valued at £50.5m and are split 5 freehold and 11 leasehold.

See the October issue of Garden Trade News for more analysis and views.

Here's GTN Xtra's A-Z list of all 145 centres and where they have ended up.

Rosebourne is celebrating a fantastic first year of trading after turning over more than £6 million.

On the approach to their one year anniversary, Rosebourne will be celebrating this impressive achievement by throwing a huge birthday party for the public on Sunday 6th October.

The event will include a guest appearance from Strictly Come Dancing Judge, Craig Revel Horwood, who will be book signing from 3pm onwards.

The first 100 customers will also receive a free orchid on arrival and all shoppers will get 10% off their purchases (excluding the restaurant).

Executive Director Jon Kitching said: “We’ve enjoyed a very successful first year at Aldermaston, customers tell us how much they love our food offering and the fact we’re a little different to the norm. Our garden furniture and plants are also proving popular.

“Looking to the future, a third site has been purchased in Hampton-in-Arden near Solihull and we have exciting plans to develop this into a fully operational Rosebourne with large food hall and restaurant this winter.”

Trade response to the new furniture covers from Tom Chambers has been outstanding. Launched at Solex in July, the new range has already been listed in a number of major independent garden centres and groups.

The covers bring a completely new approach to protecting outdoor furniture and BBQs. Manufactured from a stylish and contemporary woven material producing a luxury feel which is new to the UK market. The covers have been designed to not only protect furniture but to add to the overall appearance of the garden or patio.

The Tom Chambers RainGuard PVC free material is water repellent and weather proof ensuring year-round protection against all the elements. Heavy duty aluminium eyelets with extra strong bungee cords ensure firm security. High quality packaging incorporating product information and full colour graphics uses the same material as the covers to stand out in store. A free-standing display module is available.

Commenting on the success of the new covers, Vicki Medley, Marketing Director said: “We recognised that there was a clear gap in the market for covers that offer more than just protection. The new Tom Chambers covers are manufactured from a fabric which is new to the sector and moves the category to a completely new level. The new material is available from Day 1 with no phasing in, so that Retailers may benefit from this new and advanced range immediately."

Tom Chambers is a family business with over 50 years’ experience and has an enviable reputation for producing top quality products for the garden market.

Glee 2019 was a resounding success for Life at No.27, a gardening-therapy social enterprise set up by Annabelle Padwick.

The organisation was the show’s official charity partner alongside Greenfingers Charity. As well as exhibiting at the show, Annabelle took to the Retail Growth Theatre and Pet Stage each day to talk about marketing strategy, challenge brands to think differently about the communities they serve and improve customer journeys.

The enterprise received an incredible collection of innovative products donated by wonderful companies such as Empathy by PlantWorks, Hozelock, Price Candles, Doctor Organics, Scheurich, Yorkshire Flowerpots and many more. These will be used to deliver the therapy programmes with adults and children, or sold to raise vital funds. Donations enable the organisation to make its programmes accessible to more young people.

Speaking about the show Annabelle said: “Glee 2019 was absolutely amazing, the organisers generously provided me with a platform to highlight what the Life at No.27 enterprise aims to achieve. I was also able to share my expertise with retailers via the seminars, the feedback and conversations these created were phenomenal”.

“I would like to thank the entire Glee team for their support, the brand’s for donating valuable products and everyone who took the time to attend the seminars. It was great to see that retailers are understanding the importance of widening their customer base and getting the younger generation in to gardening, as a hobby or career.”

“There is a lot more in store for Life at No.27 in 2020 and I am really looking forward to returning to the show next year.”

Over the past 18 months Annabelle has been developing and building her UK wide vision for Life at No.27 – creating a bespoke allotment-based support network to help change lives across the country, accessible through self-referral, GP’s, psychiatrists and local councils. As well as delivering wellbeing and national curriculum-based programmes in to schools to support those students of all ages struggling with social and emotional circumstances.

The first allotment site is due to open in Northampton in spring 2020 and additional sites across the UK will follow.

Annabelle is also an Ambassador for Thrive, the UK National Charity that changes lives through gardening.

Following a hugely successful launch at Glee, Bord na Móna’s new peat-free Happy Compost is now available for order and will be available in garden centres from January 2020.

Happy Compost received a ‘best in test’ performance against all major competitors in trials conducted at University College of Dublin. In some cases, the peat-free products which include bark, green compost, wood fibre and coir, outperformed compost products including peat. It was also discovered in blind taste tests that tomatoes growing in peat-free compost tasted better than those grown in peat-based compost.

The new Happy Compost range received astounding interest from existing customers and prospects alike, with a significant number of new customers placing orders at the stand. Visitors to Glee received a first look at the six new peat-free products, and had the opportunity to discuss Bord na Móna’s sustainability credentials with the knowledgeable team of experts.

Steve Harper, Head of Commercial & Marketing for Bord na Móna UK, says:

“We are very excited about the initial success of Happy Compost and to show off a product that we have been working so hard on for the past three years”.

“As peat-free is the way we are going as a country and is the right thing to do, we wanted to create a brand that made it simple for environmentally conscious shoppers to pick out a brand that is clearly peat-free.

“This clearly resonated with buyers at Glee, which resulted in a great launch for us and we can’t wait to see Happy Compost hit the shelves at local garden centres”.

Where could experience in the commercial bedding plant industry take you?

Bedding plant enthusiasts are invited to find out by applying for the £1,500 Ball Colegrave Sponsored Travel Scholarship.

Part of the David Colegrave Foundation (DCF) Scholarship Season, this award supports knowledge and experience in bedding plant production and marketing with the opportunity for travel across the UK and Europe.

Those in the early stages of their career at a commercial bedding plant nursery, or students studying horticulture with an interest in commercial bedding plants should apply.

Crop Technician Apprentice, Robert Perry, who won the scholarship last year is using this award to fund his place on the 2019 Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB) automation study tour. He will be visiting some of the leading bedding plant growers in the Netherlands looking at the latest technology, innovation and automation.

Robert studies at Pershore College in Pershore, Worcestershire and works at Bordon Hill Nurseries in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, where he focuses mostly on young bedding plants. Robert is fascinated by the mechanisms behind plant growth and development and is keen to expand his knowledge further though travel.

Robert comments: “Being chosen for this scholarship has allowed me to travel to see horticultural environments vastly different from my own workplace. I have wanted to have the opportunity to do so for a long time and am amazed and grateful that I have been presented with this opportunity.”

Supporting Robert’s application, Stuart Lowen at Ball Colegrave, says: “David Colegrave developed many great ideas in his business through his travel overseas, keeping an open mind to new practices and challenges in plant culture. This led David to introduce ground-breaking new product innovations and solutions within our industry. This Scholarship aims to support a like-minded individual currently working within the commercial bedding plant industry, looking to extend their knowledge and experience through exploring horticulture across the UK and Europe.”

DCF Scholarship season is open now until 31 January 2020.

Horticultural businesses need to prepare now for the imminent changes to the plant passporting regulations which come into force on 14 December 2019. In preparation for this, the Horticultural Trades Association (HTA) have produced an animated infographic video and guidance sheet to inform members about plant passporting.

This new information, available to members at www.hta.org.uk/plantpassporting builds on the on-going campaign the HTA are implementing to clarify what the new regulations mean for businesses and explain the different steps that need to be taken over the coming months.

The regulations, which come into force in the event of the UK leaving the EU with a deal or in the event of an extension, mean that all plants for planting* and plant products** will need to travel with plant passports. All businesses that are involved in selling to other companies or online will need to be authorised to issue plant passports and register with the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) to be able to do so. This affects any business professionally involved with plants.

HTA President, Boyd Douglas-Davies, commented, “As a garden retailer myself I can see how it is so important for the plants we sell to be sourced responsibly. It’s clear that having the ability to trace back the journey through the supply chain of every plant that is moved throughout the country is not only great for plant health purposes, but also needs full co-operation of every business involved in the trade in plants.  The HTA plays an active role in supporting members with the implementation of new laws, interpreting the finer detail and making our industry robust and biosecure.”

He adds, “Given that many retail businesses will be focussing on plans for Christmas plant sales it is imperative that action is taken now so that trading can continue as seamlessly.”

HTA Policy Manager, Sally Cullimore, commented, “The introduction of the new plant passporting regulations on 14 December is part of wider legislation coming in to force on Plant Health Controls. We have been representing the industry views to the Government to establish clarity around the changes and keeping members fully informed over the last few months through E-News, HTA News and website updates, member meetings and advice sessions. These latest resources are part of our on-going communications plan to provide access to the critical pieces of information in a digestible format. It is time to take action now and make sure your business is prepared for the changes.”

The sale of the final Wyevale Garden Centres last week prompts major changes in our "State of the Nation" garden centre ownership chart.

British Garden Centres jump to No 2 with the 22 sites purchased last week and two sites; Windsor and Enfield being traded by British Garden Centres while they await development outcomes as a result of earlier sales to developers.

Klondyke, Notcutts, Hilliers, Squires, Cherry Lane and Hillview all move up one place following the disappearance of Wyevale as a garden centre brand.

At No 10, Caulders and Otter Nurseries, with seven sites each, enter our chart for the first time.  Caulders purcased two centres from Dobbies earlier in the year and Otter Nurseries added two from Wyevale Garden Centres in April.

Wyevale Garden Centres today announces that the Trustees for the company pension scheme have purchased a £44m bulk annuity policy from Aviva, the largest insurance company in the UK.

Against the backdrop of the sale of all Wyevale Garden Centres over the last 16 months, and the general risks of long term defined benefit pension provision, Wyevale Garden Centres has worked collaboratively with the trustees to secure the purchase of the bulk annuity policy. This policy is contracted with the trustees and together with the other assets held by the pension scheme, is completely separate from the company assets.

This positive development significantly increases the security of all member benefits and paves the way for a full ‘buy out’, which would result in the purchase of individual annuity policies for each member, further securing their benefits.

Wyevale Garden Centres has historically made regular contributions into the scheme and during 2019 has made significant lump sum contributions, totalling £16.5m, which has enabled the Trustees to purchase this bulk annuity policy.

Each member will receive a communication today, advising them of this positive development and confirming that there will be no change to their benefits with pensions continuing to be paid from the scheme in the same way as they are now.

The company was advised by LCP, which acted as lead transaction adviser on the deal.

Anthony Jones, COO of Wyevale Garden Centres said: “I am delighted that our successful sale process has put us in a position to provide £16.5m of additional funding to the pension scheme and has facilitated the Pension Trustees purchasing of a bulk annuity policy from Aviva, a leading provider. This development significantly increases the security of the long term benefits that the scheme offers to members. We have also ring-fenced the further funds required to continue this process and purchase individual annuity policies for each and every member of the scheme.”

Justin King, Executive Chairman of Wyevale Garden Centres said: “When we launched the sale process, our main goal was to secure a positive outcome for all stakeholders. This purchase of the Aviva policy represents an extremely successful outcome for the pension scheme and I am delighted that we have been able to facilitate this result for all of its members.”

Claire Teagle, Director HR Trustees Ltd and Chair of Wyevale Garden Centres Limited Pension Trustees said: "The Trustees have engaged closely with the Company over the past year with the aim of improving the security of members' benefits as the sale process has progressed. The trustees are delighted with the outcome which the additional funding has provided to secure members' full benefits with an Insurance Company."

Jamie Cole, Deal Management Lead of Aviva said: “We’re delighted to have been selected as the provider for this scheme. Working to clearly defined requirements, set by LCP, made it easy for us to work towards the best solution for the scheme and members. In a year that has seen a record-breaking volume of transactions, this highlights Aviva’s ability to offer competitive pricing and service schemes of all sizes in the market.”

Trebaron Garden Centre at Newton-Le-Willows near Warrington has been sold for an undisclosed sum to Newbank Garden Centres.

The former owner Mike Withers bought the site in 1991 from pop singer Rick Astley's father when it was a 6 acre open field with one small greenhouse.

Redeveloped in 2006 the business is now a destination centre with several concessions and a large restaurant.

The transaction brings the stable of centres owned Newbank, a family business, to five, making it the largest chain in the north west.

MIke Withers also owns Sefton Meadows Garden Centre and the distributor Trans-Continental Group, whose brands SnowTime and SunTime are well known in the garden centre industry.  "The intention is to invest in Sefton Meadows Garden Centre and develop it into a destination centre."

Jon Bottomley, Newbank Commercial Director told GTN Xtra: "We are proud to add Trebaron, Newton-Le-Willows to our already amazing portfolio of garden centres. We have been looking for the right site for many years and approached Mike to see if he would part with the centre he is so fond of. We have dealt with him for many years and consider him a family friend which made the process a lot easier.

"We have many changes in place already to push this thriving garden centre to the next level and as a family, we are very excited about the next chapter for the business.  We've just got to try and throw a Christmas together now!"

Wyevale Garden Centres have announced that it has secured the future of Elm Court as a garden centre. The existing landlord, Elm Court Garden Centre Limited will take over the operations and all colleagues at the site will transfer over.

The positive news follows the centre’s lease surrender in July 2019. In the time since, WGC has continued operating the centre under a license agreement and worked closely with the landlord to facilitate a positive outcome for the site.

Anthony Jones, COO of Wyevale Garden Centres said: "We are delighted with the outcome at Elm Court Garden Centre and I am pleased to confirm that 30 Wyevale Garden Centre colleagues will transfer across to the new management. I would like to thank Chaz and the team at Elm Court Garden Centre Limited as well as the centre colleagues for their hard work and wish everyone at Elm Court the very best for the future.”

Wyevale Garden Centres have also published a list of "Estimated last trading day as Wyevale Garden Centres" on the wyevalegardencentres.co.uk website:
