Durston Garden Products has been working flat-out since lockdown to ensure it meets the needs of all its customers, but whilst its sales has grown significantly over recent months the company is only too aware that this is not the ‘new normal’ which everyone is referring to, but simply – a moment in time.
“Whoever would have believed that our industry would have been in such demand a year ago”, says company spokesman Dan Durston.
“And yes, whilst lockdown has led to an estimated one million new gardeners, which may have boosted our sales in the short term, no one really knows what the future holds, and that’s why here at Durstons we are not taking anything for granted but simply preparing ourselves for whatever these crazy times throw at us next.”
At this year’s (virtual) GLEE, Durstons showcased its extensive range of composts once again and continues to offer its unique, tailor made packages which have become so popular with independent garden centres and retailers alike. By mixing and matching product, it means that stockists don’t need to stockpile large volumes of the same items, that lie around on shop floors for often weeks/months on end, but can instead choose exactly what they want, and have it delivered when they want it.
The company also produces all of its composts here in the UK, so with the Brexit deadline looming ever closer and the deal with Europe still in huge disarray, you can start to appreciate why so many retailers are choosing Durstons as its preferred supplier.
Its prices are extremely competitive and its reputation for supplying a consistently high grade of compost speaks volumes.
So, if your still looking for a new compost supplier for next season or maybe you just need a back-up-supplier for when things sometimes go wrong, then give Durstons a call: 01458 442688.
