Major Garden Centre Partner-Klass-Opens Key Concession in Longacres Bybrook Barn 

 

Longacres, 4 October 2017- Ladies fashion wear brand Klass have opened in yet another garden centre; this time within market leading group Longacres’ Bybrook Barn Ashford. The 400 sq ft unmanned concession is positioned on the main walkway adjacent to their existing own-clothing offering.

 

“The invitation into one of the Longacres centres as their only clothing concession is a partnership that we are thrilled about and, along with all of our existing garden centre partners, we hope to grow and strengthen that relationship in the future.” David Cohen, Klass Retail Operations Director

 

In the last 5 years, Klass has established itself as the fashionable ladies wear clothing brand for the garden centre market and now trades in over 60 garden centres throughout the UK & Ireland. As well as displaying colourful & coordinated ranges at great value, Klass’ real strength comes from being able to deliver new ranges on a weekly basis helping to increase dwell time & customer frequency.

JCB PAINT® has created a paint which has been formulated to make it easy to use on almost any exterior surface and engineered to provide protection against the toughest conditions, like no other paint in the market.

 

Invented in the UK, it has flame retardant and environmental resistant properties which along with the re-usable and recycle packaging offers testament to the company’s ethos to making the world a safer place.

 

Statement

“We believe that the consumer and professional decorator has had to endure the arduous task of choosing different types of paint for their exterior requirements such as walls, sheds, stables, barns etc for too long. I am absolutely thrilled to be able to offer them a one paint solution which will cover these applications and so much more.  

 

We have created an innovative, high performing, strong product which demonstrates the same quality, safety and durability benefits synonymous with all JCB products”. said Chris Honer CEO
