It has been a busy few weeks for the team at British Garden Centres (BGC) with them announcing today the arrival of the groups 60th garden centre. Trebaron Garden Centre in Lancashire, and team, joined the BGC family on Friday 4th March 2022. The centre, just outside Lytham St Annes (on the B5261 to Blackpool), will as with all the centres in the group carry a local name - Lytham St Annes Garden Centre.
Phillippa Stubbs, Director of BGC South said “This is a landmark day for us all. We have known the Withers family for many years and for their centre to be the 60th to join the British Garden Centres family is very special. Over the last few years we have grown our business in the north west through our other centres; Leyland, Townley & Bolton to name a few. Adding Lytham St Annes to the family gives us even more opportunities to serve the local gardeners. We are looking forward to working with the team to develop the business further and build on its heritage.”
Trebaron Garden Centre has developed over the last 40 years into the locals’ favourite garden centre and bistro. Having started life as a Tomato Nursery the site has evolved over the years, and this looks set to continue with BGC investment. Speaking of the sale, Andy Withers – son of the founder – said, “We, at Trebaron, are delighted that the British Garden Centre group is taking over the business. BGC shares our values of service to the local community and I am confident the centre will continue to flourish in the future.”
Lytham St Annes Garden Centre is just 2 miles north of Lytham town centre, 5 minutes from the M55 and 5 miles from the heart of Blackpool.
To work alongside the existing team, Lytham St Annes will be recruiting for a number of additional colleagues, go to www.britishgardencentres.com where full details will be found. As a growing business, in every sense, BGC provides great career opportunities to all skill levels.
