“We are delighted that Tara has joined us at Outback - she brings a wealth of knowledge and understanding of the industry as well as experience of our products, having been a leisure buyer for Wyevale," said chief executive Mark Osborne.

With 25 years garden retail experience Tara joins Outback from Sinclair’s Horticulture, where she was a key account manager responsible for groups such as Tillington, Choice, Hilliers and Klondyke.

Said Tara: “I am very excited to be back working in the industry and for such a great company.
