Earlier tonight the winners of the GIMA awards 2017 were announced at another sell-out event (Celtic Manor Resort, Newport, South Wales). The pinnacle of the garden retail industry’s calendar, the event has brought together manufacturers, retailers, members of the press and industry figures, to celebrate the 16 highly-deserving winners.  

 

This year Westland Horticulture is the proud winner of the GIMA Sword of Excellence, whilst Smart Garden Products has scooped the GCA Supplier of the Year, and Briers take home the Gardenex Export Achievement Award.  Elho, Burgon & Ball, Hutton Garden and Landscaping Products, Hawkesmill Nurseries, Forest Garden, Horticulture Trade Association, Fallen Fruits, and Gardman complete the winners roster in 2017.

Beefayre – a leading UK manufacturer of quality homewares, scented candles, beauty and gifting products -  is delighted to announce they have been selected as a key supplier by Dobbies.

 

From Autumn 2017, two of Beefayre’s bestselling collections will be available to purchase from any one of Dobbie’s 34 stores across Scotland, England and Northern Ireland. The introduction of Beefayre products will coincide with Dobbies’ launch of its revamped stores, where lifestyle brands and quality British suppliers will take centre stage.

The cunning founders of the multi-award winning, disrupter brand, The Foraging Fox are celebrating after securing a new listing with 273 Sainsbury’s stores. The Original and Smoked varieties of their Beetroot Ketchup will be hitting the condiment aisle on 9th July – in time for the key summer season. 

 

Since launching two and half years ago, the co-founders Frankie Fox and Desiree Parker have quickly established The Foraging Fox as a brand to watch. Capitalising on their recipes’ Free From credentials and the positive press around beetroot’s nutritional and health benefits, Frankie and Desiree have put their wily instincts to good use - pursuing every opportunity to promote awareness and increase the distribution of their product range both in the UK and overseas.
