Davidson Richards look forward to GCA Conference
GTN Xtra Promotion

Davidson Richards look forward to catching up with all their garden centre and nursery customers during the forthcoming GCA conference at the De Vere Wokefield Estate in Reading. As EPoS and retail management specialists for the sector, their OpSuite solution is used by the leading independent centres throughout the UK and Ireland.

 

 

They are proud to partner with Bents and Fairways, current holders of the prestigious GCA Destination Garden Centre of the Year and GCA Garden Centre of the Year awards, respectively.

 

 

Matthew Bent, managing director of Bents, says: ‘We have partnered closely with Davidson Richards for almost twenty years and OpSuite is at the heart of our retail operations across our centre including hospitality and our Be Inspired loyalty scheme and customer app.’

 

Fairways’ owner, Ally Moseley adds: ‘Having used OpSuite for nearly ten years at our existing centres, it was seamless to integrate the new site in Matlock and it provides our entire team with the information they need, whatever their role.’

 

Keith Bateman, Co-CEO of Davidson Richards says: ‘2024 was a great year for us in terms of helping our existing customers, gaining new ones and the additional features we introduced for OpSuite. We are delighted to have a long relationship with the GCA and contribute as a sponsor of the conference annually.’
