Further recognition for RocketGro, as it takes home accolades at two top industry events
GTN Xtra Promotion

In the space of a few weeks, RocketGro was delighted to be named Associate Supplier of the Year at the Choice Marketing Conference in October and also secure a spot as a finalist at the 2024 GIMA Awards.

 

The first prestigious industry win saw RocketGro presented with the award for 'Associate Supplier of the year' for delivering outstanding service and support to Choice Marketing members throughout 2024.

 

Hot on the heels of securing that coveted title, RocketGro was thrilled to then have its best-selling 50L Multi-Purpose Peat-Free Organic compost nominated as a finalist in the Growing Media Product of the Year category at the recent GIMA awards. 

 

It gives RocketGro plenty to celebrate, as the British brand round off an extremely positive year and looks ahead to exciting opportunities in 2025. 

 

RocketGro’s Multi-Purpose compost has been a best seller for retailers in 2024, securing a flurry of impressive new listings throughout the year and for the 2025 season. Great value, combined with eye catching packaging, and a host of eco positive accolades backing up RocketGro's unbeatable sustainable eco story make this a must stock product.

 

Managing Director Toby Thomas said: “We’ve had a really successful year, as RocketGro continues to make further progress in the market by producing high quality compost products, at a great price, that are positioned to sell. It was really heartening to receive industry recognition for our excellent service levels, and market-leading 50L Multi-Purpose compost product, which boasts an unbeatable eco story. 

 

“We value our working relationships with retailers, so were thrilled to take part in the Choice Marketing conference, and have very much enjoyed supporting the 61 garden centre members in 2024. Equally, to earn a finalist position in a hugely-competitive category at the GIMA Awards was a real bonus and, we firmly believe, is testament to the strength of the RocketGro story and product range.

 

“We are looking forward to a very positive 2025 and the opportunity to provide retail customers with yet more great service and market-leading compost products.”
