LifestyleGarden confirms closure

As of 31st August 2025, ScanCom UK Ltd and LifestyleGarden UK will cease trading and close.

 

In a statement, the company announced:

 

“Firstly, we would like to express our sincere gratitude for your continued support and confidence in the LifestyleGarden brand. In recent years, it’s fair to say that the Outdoor Living market, like many other industries, has faced numerous challenges due to the state of the economy. We hope that we have alleviated some of these pressures by offering local support, smaller quantity distribution, and a flexible, varied range.

 

“As we all know, running a business—especially one that ships and stores goods—presents challenges. We at ScanCom are no different, and as a result, we’ve been in consultation over recent months, analysing our business model and performance. After much careful consideration, ScanCom has made the very difficult decision to close the LifestyleGarden distribution centre in the United Kingdom to ensure the long-term success of the broader ScanCom operations. Additionally, we will be closing the LifestyleGarden UK showroom.

 

“Of course, these closures will impact our dedicated team members, some of whom have been with ScanCom UK Ltd and the LifestyleGarden UK team for over 20 years. We’d like to take this opportunity to extend our heartfelt thanks to every one of them for their years of service and unwavering commitment to ScanCom and to you, our valued customer.

 

“As of 31st August 2025, ScanCom UK Ltd and LifestyleGarden UK will cease trading and close.

 

“Please rest assured that all committed orders will be fulfilled as planned. ScanCom International will continue focusing on mixed container orders shipped directly from Vietnam to customers in the United Kingdom. If you would like to explore mixed container options, please contact your representative, who will connect you with a member of our sales team.

 

“After 31st August 2025, please direct inquiries related to after-sales to aftersalesuk@scancom.net, where a team member will be happy to assist you. In the meantime, please feel free to continue reaching out to us in the usual manner, and if you have any short-term concerns, the UK team will be happy to support you.

 

“We wish you continued success and happiness.”
