BBQ sales sizzle in the heatwave
The current hot and dry spell has certainly got the UK’s outdoor lovers in the mood for barbecues, and thankfully it is being reflected in a surge in sales at garden centres.

Below you’ll find the Top 20 bestselling BBQ items taken from the GTN All Epos Products data for the week ending Sunday, July 7, and it’s clear evidence that the nation has re-caught the bug for outdoor entertaining.

Sales of barbecues themselves are encouraging as the hot spell hopefully continues throughout the next couple of months.

And at the three-day SOLEX trade show at the NEC this week, BBQ exhibitors experienced good interest and business on their stands.

The Premier Decorations stand, for instance, created a lot of interest as the company have become the new UK distributors for the Barbecook range of barbecues, and visitors had the chance to obtain a free BBQ.

And the Supagrill Pod Kettle from CPL Distribution impressed so much it was awarded the Best Product at SOLEX.
