GTN Xtra Promotion

Hot off the press from the Choice Conference 2025!

 

We're incredibly proud to announce the latest addition to the growing Corby + Fellas Choice portfolio: Fairweathers has chosen to implement WinRetail!

 

Fairweather’s is a highly respected, family-run, independent garden centre located in the picturesque village of Beaulieu, Hampshire. Celebrating 60 years of trading, they are renowned for stocking the highest quality garden plants, gifts, and accessories, alongside popular features like the award-winning Steff's Kitchen and Patrick's Patch.

 

This implementation will see the powerful WinRetail solution streamline operations across their comprehensive retail and hospitality offerings, further strengthening Fairweathers' position as a leading destination garden centre.

 

Patrick Fairweathers, Managing Director says: "The implementation has gone really well -throughout the planning stage to going live we have been very well supported with good communication and training.

 

"Our team are already enjoying the benefits of many of the new features including the handheld ordering in the café and kitchen screens..

 

"Thanks to Matt, Jacob and Jamie for their professional approach to the project!"

 

Check out their wonderful centre here: https://fairweathers.co.uk/

 

This exciting collaboration is a testament to the powerful, comprehensive solutions WinRetail brings to the retail sector and strengthens our commitment to serving the Choice membership, now almost 20 businesses in the group!

 

Stay tuned for more updates on this successful rollout and more to follow in the next few months!
