This year has once again seen Garland/Worth Gardening gain massive support from the garden trade. This year's Glee trade fair was testament to that with yet another busy event, with major interest being shown in the company's products for the 2020 season. Garland has already seen 40% growth over this season and 2020 looks set to continue in a similar way. This year has been a great year, but we have so much to do to ensure we stay on top all the extra business. Garland/Worth Gardening are a proud UK manufacturer making over 65% of their products in their own factory in the West Midlands. The company will be investing heavily for 2020 with new warehousing, new products and new 24 hour a day order picking system in the peak months.

The award was presented to Tony by Mark Dedman (Sales Director) (Right) at the company’s Annual Sales Conference held at Hockley Heath in the Midlands on 22^nd and 22^rd August. Tony Robson who last won the award in 2015 and came a close second in 2018, is responsible for sales in the north west of England. Second place was awarded to Andy Burton who is responsible for the south west and third place went to Richard & Nathan Foster who cover the north east of England. During the conference Garland/Worth Gardening set out their vision for the 2020 season, with the announcement of further investment in a brand new warehouse along with over 35 more new products. Sales this year are expected to increase by around 40 per cent which is only possible with the help and focus of the entire sales, office and warehouse team at Garand Products/Worth Gardening.

Glee sees launch of new cover range made from ‘fabric of the future’

A new range of garden covers using a material described as the ‘fabric of the future’ is being launched by Garland Products at Glee 2019 (Stand Hall 8 D30-E31).  The material is the result of two years development by the company and is worlds ahead of traditional polyester used by other garden cover suppliers.  In addition, the company will be making over 30 other product launches at the show with the emphasis on environmentally friendly products and GYO. 

The new garden cover material has the look of premium polyester covers that are popular with consumers but has none of the downsides. The new, advanced fabric takes its properties from Garland’s ever popular Super Tough Range. The material has major advantages over traditional polyester covers as it is already 100% waterproof, so requires none of the traditional coatings to make it water tight.  It is also naturally UV stable with virtually zero fading over its 7-year guarantee period. The fabric is also almost untearable and with all the seams being sonic welded rather than sewn, there is no need to use waterproof taping in an attempt to make the seams watertight. This means each cover is effectively one piece of material and completely impervious to sunlight and water. Commenting on the new cover material Garland’s sales director Mark Dedman said “The development of this new material has been a very exciting project for us. Using my 20 years of experience in selling covers and working with materials, we have finally been able to develop a material that is naturally perfect for outdoor use. This is a culmination of years of research and development looking for the next cover material.  There has been a huge investment in machinery for the new manufacturing process and the patented process is exclusive to Garland/Worth Gardening.  It will ensure we remain at the forefront

Record after record is being broken at Garland/Worth Gardening, as we have seen every month set a new record over the previous best for the months so far. May has traditionally been the company's biggest month of the year, yet we have just put 40% growth on our biggest month with no signs of it slowing down. We continue to look towards the future and the infrastructure required to continue on our current trajectory, this will help us ensure that we can cope with what else may lie on the horizon. There are certainly exciting times ahead.

As we tip in to the new year Garland/Worth Gardening gets off to a flying start with yet another record month. Commenting on the seasons start Mark Dedman, Sales Director is delighted with the whole teams performance. "We have seen one of our biggest months grow year on year by 73%, this is a massive increase on what was already a fantastic year last year, and it takes a huge effort from all of the team to manage these sort of increases. We hope it is a sign of what we can expect over the season ahead. We have worked tirelessly over the last 12 months to get ourselves in a position that we can cope with the growing business, but it is nice to see it all take shape and see it all work as it should". Garland/Worth Gardening have continued to invest heavily over the past few years in new products and new warehousing and their sales growth is certainly reflecting the investment made.
