Garden Retail Awards 2012
Introduction
"The Garden Retail Awards have a hugely valuable role in recognising excellence and helping continually to raise standards in our industry so that we can compete effectively with ever growing competition. Garden retailers and our supply side partners are amongst the most innovative in the world and we all can learn from the best. That’s why the HTA has supported these garden retail awards right since their very beginning and is delighted to do so again this year."
Caroline Owen, HTA Vice President and Managing Director, Scotsdale Garden Centre.
The Garden Retail Awards. A celebration of everything that’s excellent in retailing to gardeners, their families, their friends. Success in retail calls for particular skills. Success in garden retail calls for unique skills. Nowhere else in retailing do the quad demands of the vagaries of the weather, in-store displays and facilities, massive on site storage, and a talent for dealing with animals and children meet and are faced daily by the garden retail community.Has your garden centre performed head and shoulders above your competitors this year? Did your garden retail team achieve the impossible this year? Are you winning outstanding plaudits for customer service from your customers? If so, you should be entering the Garden Retail Awards 2008.
The Awards, presented by the horticulture industry’s leading business and professional magazine, Garden Retail, are now in their second year as part of Haymarket Professional Media – and, in 2008, are set to create an even bigger splash across the garden retail sector.
Winners will be announced during the evening of the 12 November in London at a glittering Awards dinner and ceremony, in front of their peers from across the industry. This entry form gives you full details of the Award categories and how to enter. Please read it carefully and decide which categories you wish to enter.
Entering the Garden Retail Awards can bring many benefits to you and your team: as a unique marketing tool; as a way to demonstrate your professional excellence; and as a terrific motivator for staff.
On behalf of the Garden Retail team, I wish you the very best of luck with your entries.
