New Hopetoun Gardens implements WinRetail
GTN Xtra Promotion

 

Corby + Fellas has announced that New Hopetoun Gardens has implemented WinRetail.

 

C+F’s Jacob Parker and Jamie Cann arrived on site in West Lothian and installed the acclaimed WinRetail Epos, Retail Management, and powerful reporting systems in the both the garden centre and restaurant.

 

Set within Hopetoun Woods, in view of the Edinburgh Queensferry Crossing, their award-winning garden centre includes easy ample car parking, a well-stocked gift shop and Orangery tearoom - and like Corby + Fellas, has been a successful family business for over 45 years.

 

Dougal Philip & Lesley Watson are renowned in the UK gardening world. The couple judge the prestigious Royal Horticultural Society’s show gardens each year at Chelsea and Hampton Gardens and Lesley has also been a popular presenter on BBC TV’s The Beechgrove Garden.

 

Moving the business forward, Dougal and Lesley handed over ownership to their loyal garden centre team in 2019 to protect the future of the business which they have nurtured for so many years. Following the transfer to an Employee Ownership Trust, Dougal and Lesley continue to work at the business supporting the current team of around 37.

 

Pictured: C+F’s Jacob Parker and Jamie Cann, along with New Hopetoun’s Morag and Leona, thank you to them for heading up the project and working so effectively with our team; it’s been a real pleasure, and we look forward to a long and harmonious relationship.
