Haxnicks
sponsored the Retail Outlet Under £3m Turnover Award at the Garden Retail
Awards 2012 which was won by Sidmouth Garden Centre, who received their trophy
from Smart Solar’s sales director Paul Knott. The Garden Retail Awards
were held on Wednesday 7th November at London's Grosvenor House in Park Lane.
Last year was very strong for Sidmouth Garden Centre, but
with the weather making things harder in 2012, this year the focus has been on
service and margins through reducing expenditure without affecting service.
Smart Solar, which has recently acquired the distribution
rights for Haxnicks ‘Love to grow’ product range was keen to support the Garden Retail Awards to
demonstrate its commitment to the garden centre industry.
Paul commented, “It
was an honour to
present the Haxnicks Retail
Outlet Under £3m Turnover Award to Sidmouth Garden Centre in front of 350
industry guests. Haxnicks and Smart Solar both enjoy leading roles in this
industry and it was great to share the evening with so many colleagues and
friends.”
