Family-run business
We’re a well-established, family-run business in its 10th decade.
Many of us have been with the business for anything from five to 30 years plus. This is a testament to our happy working environment here.
Established in 1930, and trading across 10 decades, we’re leading suppliers of wholesale plants to the amenity and retail sectors.
Career pathways
But it’s not just the expertise of those that have been with us for many years that we prize. We also take our young talent seriously too. Our successful in-house apprenticeships and trainee manager programmes are renowned. Recently eight colleagues graduated from these initiatives into more senior roles or are actively working through our training and management scheme.
