Welcome to the second Independent Business Supplement of 2018! We’ve built on the success of our March issue to give you even more expert advice and information to use as and when you need it. Following this, there’s one more issue of our magazine in 2018, before we embark on what is likely to be a year of economic uncertainty. This issue is designed to help you get ahead with business in 2019.

We’ve got an excellent feature looking at the 50-year history of Dean’s Garden Centre in York. They’ve adapted and overcome a fair amount of change in the industry over the years to make sure they stay relevant to today’s market.

We also have a feature with Stratford Garden Centre’s Helen Lloyd. In January the centre was voted in the top 10 GCA garden centres and the story of how it has achieved success is certainly worth noting.

We also have a feature from the GCA’s inspection team.

They explain how the scoring system works and how to maintain high standards. Robbie Cumming of Hornby Whitefoot shares his marketing tips in the form of vlogging and Andrew Byrne at myPOS passes on some valuable cashflow advice. We hope you enjoy the read.

DEAN’S GARDEN CENTRE INTERVIEW

AN INTERVIEW WITH DEAN’S GARDEN CENTRE Plant sales remain at the core of this family-run business that has adapted to change over the last 50 years while staying true to its roots

On 7 December 1968, Ken and Margaret Dean first opened the doors to Dean’s Garden Centre and over the last 50 years this familyrun business has gone from strength to strength.

From its humble beginnings as a 60 x 14ft greenhouse and prefab building, the business has extended to the purchase of a second garden centre at Scarborough in 1986 and the opening of the coffee shop at York and nursery site in 1991.

The site now covers more than four acres, with the most recent expansion in 2017 of a new, larger coffee shop.

4

Interview.indd 4

Dean’s has remained a family enterprise and, when Ken and Margaret retired in 1993, the business was taken over by their three children Richard, Helen and Sarah who still run the business today.

Between the three partners, they have eight children, four of whom currently work within the business.

During the last 50 years, gardening has remained at the centre of the business ethos, with Dean’s growing a large range of bedding plants, perennials, vegetable plants, cyclamen and bowls of bulbs at their nursery site just a short distance away from the garden centre.

More than 120 staff are employed between the two garden centres at York, Scarborough and the nursery – over 35 of them have worked for the company for 10 years or more, establishing the business as a significant local employer while staying true to its roots.

Garden Centre Retail Independent Business Supplement November 2018

For a number of years, Dean’s Garden Centre has supported charities in many different ways. Since 2002, a charity of the year has been nominated annually and this alone has raised over £265,000 to date. The charity of the year for 2018 is Macmillan Cancer Support.

To help celebrate their anniversary, there will be two celebration days: a 50th Anniversary Charity Day will be held on Thursday 6 December, which will include a cake stall, golden raffle, tombola and book stall, proceeds of which will go to Macmillan Cancer Support.

On Friday 7 December they will be celebrating their 50th anniversary with special offers and a golden envelope giveaway.

1973 The building is extended further and a Pratten greenhouse built.

Our longest serving employee starts to work for us

1977 Until 1977 Ken, Margaret and staff packet their own seeds and grow vegetables to sell in the shop

1978 A major extension to the shop replaces several of the older buildings. There are now 14 staff; Richard Dean starts work full time

1981 A further extension is added including an office, staff room and storerooms upstairs

1982 The original greenhouse is replaced with the current Cambridge one

plants and with it the move from Autumn being the peak sales for plants to Spring,” explains Helen. “We’ve also seen goods and seeds being bought in bulk and repacked on site to the majority of items now being pre-packed now except for a few loose bulbs in showcases.Trade is no longer just plants and gardening items, with a move into other areas such as cards, gifts, Christmas etc which enhance the overall shopping experience. One of our big challenges is finding enough hours in the day to get all our jobs done!” says Helen.

Finally, the introduction of the coffee shops, which are now 28% of overall sales has been huge for us.”

Growth The garden centre’s biggest growth period was in the late 1980’s into the early 1990’s. A 20% increase in turnover each year in this period wasn’t out of the ordinary, with the latter years of this period being helped by the introduction of coffee shops to both sites.

“In recent years we could have perhaps grown faster if we had chosen to sell anything we could have made money from” says Helen. “Instead

we have stuck to our values of offering quality plants and gardening lines along with good customer service and we are still here after 50 years!”

The plan going forward for Dean’s Garden Centre is to not lose sight of the fact that they are first and foremost a garden centre, with plant sales at the core of the business.

There is also a plan to make sure the integration of the third generation into key

positions within the business goes smoothly.

They also hope to have greater analysis processes from the information available through their current EPoS system and are looking into re-establishing links with other business owners within the industry via the Retail Business Improvement Scheme (RBIS) or other similar pathways.

On top of this there is the decision regarding the extent

of redevelopment at the Scarborough site in the current challenging market.

Audience Helen says the company has many long-standing loyal customers. Many are aged 60+, but are often accompanied by their children and grandchildren. The opening of the larger Bothy at York has seen a lot of new and younger customers, which is shown by the number of extra loyalty cards we have issued since it was opened.

Industry issues Helen says there is a whole host of industry challenges at present.

“The uncertainty around Brexit is obviously a big one” she explains. “There are also the continuous changes in legislation, the ever-increasing costs in wages, overheads and rates and so on.”

“Internet shopping is also a real competitor to our industry, but we’re keen to keep quality plants at the core of the business in order to mitigate this risk” Helen says.

On top of these issues, Helen mentions the potential problem of Xylella fastidiosa in this country, and the difficulty in attracting young people with an interest in plants and gardening into the industry, as staff members and as customers.

1995

Strongest departments Plants have always been at the core of the business for the company, ever since its inception 50 years ago.

“The coffee shops are now responsible for 28% of the total revenue of the business,” says Helen. “Plants have always been the strongest category for us accounting for over a third of the other 72%, with 15% of our plant sales grown at our nursery.

“Unlike a lot of garden centres, houseplants have always maintained a good presence in our business and are currently 13% of the total plant sales,” Helen explains.

“Over the last 15 years, aquatic sales have fallen from around 8% of garden centre turnover to as little as 3% and garden buildings/hard landscaping from over 8% to around 5% today.

“Non-gardening has always remained below 20% with Christmas being around a quarter of this.

“Furniture and barbecue sales fluctuate with the weather but is usually between 4 and 5% in recent years.

“Bird care has been a growth area over this period and is now 5% of garden centre sales.

“Other gardening which includes seeds, bulbs, pots, compost, fertilisers and chemicals, tools, watering, propagation etc remains at 28% of sales.”

The outdoor covered area is extended at York

The Future “For the future, we want to continue with our business philosophies and remain as a traditional garden centre with plant sales at our core, but be able to adapt to the ever-changing market place as re uired, Helen finishes. w

BUSINESS TEMPORARY STRUCTURES

EXPANDING YOUR SPACE

Creating extra space within a garden centre can often be a long drawn-out process but Colette Sowerby from Worldwide Structures explains how you can achieve this in just a few days by installing one of their temporary or semi-permanent structures

W

orldwide Structures are experts in extending garden centres with their temporary and semi-permanent structures.

Their extensions fix seamlessly onto your current building or alternatively they can be used as a stand alone structure. The structures can be fully operational and ready to accommodate your customers in just a few days, with little to no disturbance to the day to day running of your business.

One of the major benefits of using their Space Building

System is it negates the need for expensive ground works prior to installation. Designed and manufactured in Wiltshire, the building is delivered to site in kit form and is built from the ground up, regardless of the terrain. The only requirements are a small crew and a forklift.

With 100% of the structural elements being re-usable, the environmental impact is negligible.

ALTON GARDEN CENTRE

“We were approached by Alton Garden Centre, which is the largest garden centre in Essex to provide an extension to its popular restaurant,

Garden Centre Retail Independent Business Supplement November 2018

Worldwide structures.indd 8

Digby’s,” explains Colette Sowerby, who is marketing and business development manager for the company.

“Digby’s restaurant has a beautiful large courtyard which is incredibly popular during the summer months, but not always so well utilised during the winter months. The restaurant manager wanted to offer its valued and loyal customers the same seating availability and service all year round, therefore maintaining the café’s capacity and turnover. Together, Alton’s manager and restaurant manager considered various options to cover the outdoor

seating area. These included building a permanent conservatory or installing a temporary marquee, however neither of these options were suitable as they created additional problems which weren’t easy to overcome.

“We discussed various structural configurations to cover the outdoor restaurant space, from single storey to double storey structures. It was decided a single storey structure was most suitable. “ pon confirmation of the project, the structural components were prepared and delivered to site. We provided and built a 7.5m x 12.5m single storey, flat roof temporary structure covering the outdoor restaurant space, seamlessly bringing the outdoor space indoors. The installation of the building only took three days, with the

café remaining operational throughout.

“In addition to delivering the structure, Worldwide Structures also supplied and coordinated the installation of heating and floor covering, plus they worked alongside the garden centre’s electrician when installing temporary power into the structure.

“They manufactured a bespoke ramp from the existing café area to the temporary building and an external ramp from the decked area to the gate in the courtyard for access purposes.”

Alton Garden Centre said: “We were really impressed with the service we received from start to finish. The end result looks amazing, this has ticked all the boxes and more! Would not hesitate to recommend.“

Stuart Sowerby, general manager at Worldwide Structures said: “This is another one of those enjoyable projects, when we helped provide a solution to a problem. With our unique building system, what seemed

a complex problem was easily solved.

“We were able to prepare, supply and install our building system in a restricted space, while the garden centre restaurant remained open.”w For additional information, or if you would like to discuss your requirements further, contact Colette Sowerby on 01672 565060/07484929702 or email colette@w-sl.com worldwide-structures.com

BUSINESS CASH FLOW SUCCESS

C A S H L E S S PR O O FI N G

FOR CASH FLOW SUCCESS Andrew Byrne, chief operating officer of FinTech payments start-up myPOS discusses cash flow issues within the industry, and how to mitigate those risks For many businesses, cash flow issues can cause endless sleepless nights, potentially hurting a business’s financial health. A persuasive argument can be made, however, that they hurt small businesses and independent retailers most of all. ith SM s comprising 99 of all K businesses and being a fundamental part of the machinery that drives the British economy, many are identifying cash flow problems as the core reason they may go under.

Research this year by the Small Business nsights index reveals that just under half of SM s operate in the red regularly, which means that many find themselves constantly under money-related pressures, often fretting about their ability to keep their heads above the water, let alone sustain growth long term. From customers and suppliers taking liberties by excessively delaying payment of invoices, to isa and Mastercard ramping up card payment fees in response to consumer-friendly directives, in this day and age a

INSPECTIONS GCA

GCA INSPECTIONS Roger Crookes speaks with Garden Centre Retail about GCA inspections, and how independent garden centres can improve their scores

The Garden Centre Association’s annual inspections are the core of the business and they help drive members’ standards across all areas of their business including customer service, merchandising, plant quality and marketing. They’re also a great way for member centres to collaborate with each other and share ideas.

The main purpose of the role of inspector is to visit members’ sites to assess standards and give feedback.

Roger Crookes has been a Garden Centre Association (GCA) inspector for 11 years. He started in 2007 after a career working in garden centres around the UK since 1977.

12

This year was Roger’s last as a GCA inspector before retiring from his role.

Roger says: “The scoring system is very detailed with more than 200 separate criteria for the inspector to assess, from the website and telephone surveys (usually before we visit), and then when we arrive on site from the roadside and car park, all the way through the various retail departments.

“Most criteria are scored out of 10 (although there are a few variations). Some sections have an extra ‘loading’ on the scores based upon that section’s importance/contribution to the overall turnover of a ‘typical garden centre’. At the end of the form we use to carry

Garden Centre Retail Independent Business Supplement November 2018

GCA Inspections.indd 12

out the inspection there is some detailed analysis of the scores, including a comparison between this year’s visit and previous years’ scores.”

“A lot of the detail is on the form so that centres can refer to the details in advance to help them prepare for their inspection, and more

It’s not just about what we as inspectors think is important, the process is developed by members and delivered by us

Are there specific things Roger is looking for when inspecting?

Well, yes actually, and this all comes from putting himself in the customer’s shoes.

importantly, to provide a great experience for their customers. So, depending on the department it usually covers details such as layout

GCA INSPECTIONS

and flow, merchandising, signs, maximising hot spots and housekeeping.

“All the retail details we are looking for have been added to the form over many years, through discussions with garden centre members. t’s not just about what we as inspectors think is important, the process is developed by members and delivered by us.

Consistency Consistency in scoring is a major thought for the GCA inspectors.

Members need to know that they are being fairly compared to each other. “ e work hard to be as consistent as possible, says Roger. “ e realise that this is important to members. e really think hard about each score – weighing up what we are seeing in each department against what we have seen in other centres all over the country. There is a benchmarking process involved. “ hen it comes to our comments, both on the form and in person during our feedback sessions, members value our individual styles of communicating, so although the scores should be consistent, a different inspector each year

GCA Inspections.indd 13

may well bring up different observations during their feedback.

Common challenges Having done the job for over a decade, Roger must be expecting to see some of the same mistakes time and time again. “ am not sure about mistakes. Garden centres are trying to cope with all the commercial challenges of running a modern retail business. My observation is that staffing has become a major challenge for most centres over the last 10 years, especially in the plant areas. “ e have rightly recognised that the wage bill needs to be tightly managed, but when the sun comes out and staff start to struggle, our retail standards start to slip right at the time when we need to look our best to maximise that sunny spring weather. A lot of members use the imminent arrival of the inspector as an extra motivational tool for their teams to keep on top of standards.

Basics “There are some basics’ on the inspection form, he says.

“Keeping paths clear and

accessible, stock neat and tidy, trolleys visible and general housekeeping go a long way to helping the scores, and customers’ ease of shopping.

Feedback Once the inspections is over, what happens with regards

Similar presentations are delivered at the GCA annual conference and again regionally around the K in February to help teams prepare for the season. “ n the end all we want to do is help members keep on improving and retain their own uni ue commercial strengths – and looking at GCA members growth over the last few decades, they seem to be making it work w

BUSINESS VLOGGING

TA K E V I E W ER S O N A J O U R N E Y:

THE SECRETS TO VLOGGING FOR BUSINESS At this year’s HTA Marketing Forum, Hornby Whitefoot PR account manager Robbie Cumming discussed what it takes to create a successful vlog

T

he 36-year old’s YouTube channel has over 7,000 subscribers, with more than 800,000 views across 70 video logs about his experience of travelling the UK in his narrowboat home. Here he answers questions from suppliers and retailers about vlogging for businesses.

What is vlogging and why should my business do it?

Vlogging is recording yourself speaking to the camera as if it was a good friend. If your goal is to increase sales by building trust with your potential customers, then the vlogging approach to social media videos is the most direct method. More and more businesses are turning to it as a way of showcasing their human side, using it to strengthen public relations and increase customer loyalty.

How do I get started?

Begin by watching other vlogs on YouTube. Look outside the industry and find a subject that you’re interested in, however niche it might be! As you’re

14

Vlogging.indd 14

watching, you should be able to work out why some videos have more views than others, but also use the time to make a note of all the things you do and don’t like to prepare you for filming your own content.

What equipment do I need?

Make the most of what you’ve got. Smartphones not only allow you to film broadcastquality content, but you can also make professional looking edits using apps and record your own background music, all on the same device. There are also several inexpensive accessories made exclusively for smartphone filmmaking.

I use a £40 lapel mic for improved sound and a £10 flexible tripod for holding the camera at a more comfortable length, which works well for time lapses and static shots.

What can I vlog about?

Avoid generic content. You want to attract people that care deeply about what you’re saying, so share something uni ue that they won’t find elsewhere. If in doubt, choose something that you can talk

Garden Centre Retail Independent Business Supplement November 2018

about, unprompted – and something you’re genuinely passionate about.

How do I get more subscribers?

Storytelling is the most fundamental part of your content. Take your viewers on a journey. et them know where you’re going at the beginning of the video, and then get straight to into the story as quickly as possible.

At the end, tell people what you’ve got planned for the next video.

How often do I need to upload vlogs?

Don’t vlog just for the sake of vlogging. I experimented with daily vlogs for 10 days in a row this year, and saw a very small increase in the number of subscribers. The views I got for each video also took more than a few weeks to reach their normal levels.

If the content is valuable enough your followers will wait. Promote via other social media channels to make sure they don’t miss it when you do upload the next one.

What if I don’t have time?

Running a successful YouTube channel takes a lot of time.

As well as filming and editing, you also need to respond to comments, promote your content via online/offline channels, plan, research and monitor analytics. The other option is vlogging live from your smartphone. As live streams are currently less common, they tend to receive more attention because they are highlighted in social media feeds. Interacting with viewers whilst also taking them on a journey allows you to condense all of your vlog activity into a set period of time. You may not be able to deliver high definition footage, and live video often disappears after a short while, but you’ll show a refreshingly raw version of your business that could help you build a loyal fanbase. w If you have any questions about vlogging, live video or any other consultation, contact Robbie Cumming via email, robbie@ hornbywhitefootpr.co.uk.

SUCCESS STORY: STRATFORD GARDEN CENTRE Garden Centre Retail visits Helen Lloyd at Stratford Garden Centre to talk about being fiercely independent, competition and growth plans for the 10th best garden centre in the UK according to the latest GCA results Southern, my uncle, is our finance director.

What’s the history of the business?

We took over this site in May 2004. It was an old bedding plant nursery with three glasshouses. We ran it for about 18 months before knocking down the old centre in September 2005. We reopened in March 2006 with the first phase of development focused on the main building.

We quickly realised we had an opportunity for concession traders to come in, such as Maidenhead Aquatics and Cotton Traders. By the October of 2006 we started building phase two which was our two Dutch barns.

Why were they keen to come in to such a new business?

We dealt with First Franchise at this time when concessions were just starting to come into garden centres. It gave us the confidence to go ahead with phase two a lot quicker than we intended. When we got the original planning permission, we were granted permission

www.gardencentreretail.com

Stratford Success.indd 15

for three phases. The third phase is for the construction of a 9,000sqft building which would increase our food and catering offering, we are just in the process of finalising the plans to start building in January 2020.

How have you competed with the chain stores?

We have a Blue Diamond in Evesham, Burford Garden Centre right in the Cotswolds, a Wyevale north of Stratford and Webbs of Wychbold. There is quite a distance between these destinations. Our customers are willing to travel.

You’re obviously fiercely inde endent as a business.

We are a family business, myself and my husband Gwyn run the garden centre with a fantastic team of department managers and staff. Paul

What is your background?

I used to work for Barton Grange and both Gwyn and I worked for Notcutts as management trainees. My experience within the garden centre is the indoor areas and Gwyn’s is in the outside areas and in his plant knowledge. It seemed a perfect partnership.

What has changed for independent garden retailers since you started in 2004?

People’s expectations are a lot higher than they were. The standards are also higher.

Our retail practices are much improved compared to how traditional garden centres used to be in the sixties, seventies and eighties. The chain garden centres have probably pushed us as independents to be different and unique because we couldn’t compete on price with them.

It’s a very different story to how lots of others get into the industry.

Paul was in corporate finance so he came from a finance and accounting background. Gwyn

What challenges are you facing?

Well, Brexit is looming. That leads to uncertainty I suppose.

We weren’t particularly hit too badly with the last recession.

We stood still rather than

and I have come with hands on experience. I started in this industry when I was 14. I’ve done it all my life. We’re both horticulturally trained. I went to Hadlow College, Gwyn went to Pershore.

losing. We’ve grown 83% in the last five years and much of that is because Stratford, our local area, is expanding. There are so many new houses around here that are either planned or have been built. That basically

S T R AT F O R D G A R D E N C E N T R E S U C C E S S S T O R Y

Your catchment area is relatively big then?

Yes, it is. Stratford is a tourist area and it swells from around 25,000 to over 1 million during the tourist season. We haven’t really tapped into the tourist market, we’ve tended to focus on attracting local people from arwick, eamington, the north Cotswolds and south Birmingham, which are all affluent areas.

You’ve got a couple of coach loads in today, is that something you promote?

We haven’t really promoted ourselves to that market because we’re not really geared up for that with regards to the car park. e’ve also outgrown our toilet facilities. That’s a challenge in that we need more retail space and more room for everything else

Was the plan to set up in an a uent area and aim at t e high end? ot necessarily. e try to aim at everyone, we have a mantra of good, better, best with regards to the products we offer. e have what you would expect to see in most garden centres, but we’ve also got some brands that might seem more boutique or more John ewis or department store. e try to offer something a little

What are we talking in terms of turnover growth then? e’ve gone from just over £2.5 million in 2013 to over £4 million last year. e’ve had a good spring and summer this year, and our catering has steadily grown for us. Catering this year should do around £900,000. e’re limited again now with that because we need the extra space. e altered the catering facility, we changed the service. e had

grew our customer numbers overnight. There are going to be 10,000 new houses within five miles and a bypass to be built in the next 10 years. That will help bring people to this side of Stratford.

I started in this industry when I was 14.

I’ve done it all my life bit different from what you’d expect, and we’ve not been afraid to bring in ranges that aren’t typically garden centre ranges. That’s worked well for us.

Now we’ve gone to counter ordering, but everything is brought to the table, even the drinks.

Garden Centre Retail Independent Business Supplement November 2018

e had two centres once. e had a smaller centre up in orth arwickshire which we sold for other use.

That enabled us to build our shopping courtyard, which are wooden cladded, cabin-like shops next to our plant area with a range of independent retailers. As a family, we are continuously investing back into the business. e’ll get to a point where we’ve got a good-si ed, independent family-run garden centre turning over £6 million in the next five years.

Are you a member of any of the marketing or buying groups? e’re not a member of a buying group as such, but we are a member of the ilford Group which is really an idea and sharing group. e’re not tied into each other in any financial way at all, it’s just like-minded business with owner-managers very similar to ourselves that we share ideas with. e get together every month at a different centre. e do a criti ue of each

garden centre, then share our ideas and plans, even sales figures too.

You’ve not got a buying deal for that group? o, we share ideas and if there is a product working well for one centre, we’ll all know about it. t’s all about sharing and evaluating each other. t can get very honest at times which is nice. e’ve built friendships through this. hen we’re going through a tough patch it’s helpful to be able to pick up the phone for some support.

You’re involved with the GCA too? e’re members of the GCA and the HTA. e’re not particularly active members.

But you are a top 10 GCA centre, aren’t you? e were unable to attend the GCA Conference this year as we were in the middle of redeveloping the ime Tree Restaurant, but we were delighted to come in the top ten. don’t believe we

will this year though and we haven’t changed anything! It is important to us to continue to grow our sales and improve the customer experience.

What other independent garden centres do you look to for inspiration?

There are a few. We obviously take inspiration from the other members of The Wilford Group. Barton Grange is an inspiration, and we take a trip up there every so often. Bent’s is great, we’ve not been there for two years or so. They are completely different to us, on a different scale, but it’s always inspirational.

What do you learn from the chains, or is it a case of you learn what not to do?

That’s true of everywhere you go. You go somewhere, and you always learn something.

You take things you would do, and things you wouldn’t. There is a big difference between a Blue Diamond, a Wyevale and an independent. We’ve got

www.gardencentreretail.com

Stratford Success.indd 17

such a scale of diversity in this market. It’s about getting that balance right.

It’s interesting to hear your views having been trained at Notcutts. There is no real grudge from you against the big players?

Not at all. When we worked for Notcutts, it was family owned. It had 11 centres and their management training programme was excellent.

Gwyn and I will both say a lot of the retail disciplines that we have today are down to Notcutts. There were managers there who showed us the importance of paying great attention to detail. We both learnt so much.

Gwyn then worked for Homebase for a while and again, he saw a completely different side and he learnt a lot about having a multidisciplined offering.

It’s about being aware of the whole spectrum, picking the best bits out and forgetting the not so good bits.

What is your typical customer?

We have a traditional garden centre customer. That’s where we’ve seen the growth over the past few years, with the repeat custom. We thought we’d open the door and, being

we’re also good at generating our own ideas.

Do you think you’re an inspiration for other centres?

We do get a lot of people coming around to have a look at the shopping courtyard. It’s

We have what you would expect to see in most garden centres, but we’ve also got some brands that might seem more boutique or John Lewis a brand-new centre, people would just come. It took longer than that to get established.

We’ve now been going 13 years and we’re less affected by the weather, we’ve got a steady flow of business. Our offering, the food shop, toy shop, gifts etc, has helped us weatherproof ourselves. We’ve got a good balance.

Was this style of garden retailing just starting in 2004?

We were probably one of the first garden centres to have a food shop.

Our food element was quite strong back then. We were the first garden centre to have Cook as a concession. The shopping courtyard we built is unique.

We are quite forward thinking in our own way. Without a doubt we do follow the industry – everyone gets ideas from everyone else, but

very easy to give a concession indoor space, it’s a lot harder to do it in an external space.

What do you think the garden retail industry will loo li e in fi e years’ time If you’d have asked me six months ago, I would have said there would have been little change, but with Wyevale selling up, some of the small to medium-sized groups will grow. There’s talk of a management buyout for the remaining Wyevale Centres, so that would have an effect.

Some smaller centres are likely to disappear to make way for housing.

Other than phase three of the build, what’s next for Stratford Garden Centre?

We want to grow from the current £4.4 million turnover to £5 million in three years. £6 million in five years would be great too! We want to continue to grow the rental income so we can continue to use the shopping courtyard at its best.

We also need to be more profitable going forward w

GCS LIMITED GCS managing director Jeremy Davies describes some of the products and the ethos that make this national retail security company a success Company overview GCS is a national retail security company which specialises in retail loss prevention and product protection in garden centres. With more than 25 years in the loss prevention industry, the team at GCS focuses on providing exceptional products and service to all sizes of company.

Becky ones, GCS office manager says: “We go that step further to ensure our customers needs are more than just met.

“Specialising in Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS Tagging), CCTV and Product Source Protection, GCS are here to help you meet your loss prevention needs. We would be genuinely thrilled to work with you and look forward to welcoming you aboard.”

22

GCS is also the manufacturer of the retail security awardwinning candle protection tag, Jarloc. The company is the trusted supplier to retailers including Klondyke, Dobbies, Wyevale, Tesco and Boots.

“With their specialist knowledge of garden centre loss prevention, GCS designed our security tagging policy and provided a range of security tags best suited to the products we need to protect. I would be pleased to recommend GCS to other garden centres.” Klondyke Garden Centre Group.

New security products GCS is expanding its already broad range of security products with a particular focus on high quality IP CCTV systems to help retailers.

Garden Centre Retail Independent Business Supplement November 2018

Company Profile GCS.indd 22

Their candle protection suitable for main brand candles is also expanding, with the launch of Jarloc(3), which can be removed at the till using existing detachers and Jarloc(4) which is for protection of contemporary candle jar designs without a lip.

Cost-effective maintenance GCS maintains and supports all makes and models of security tagging and CCTV equipment. Using specialist knowledge, GCS assesses the fault via the phone and allocates the most suitable member of the support team to resolve the issue.

To help keep costs down, the GCS approach is to repair the equipment rather than automatically replace with new.

And for many retailers, GCS

keeps systems working where other security companies won’t.

“GCS provides support and service to our EAS Tagging estate. We are safe in the knowledge GCS will find a solution in the event some of our older discontinued equipment fails. GCS help keep our costs down through their careful management of our estate, recycling equipment and only install new equipment when absolutely necessary.

CREATIVE RETAIL SOLUTIONS LTD Director Andrew Drake explains the bespoke shopfitting and refrigeration service they offer garden centres when creating a food offering Can you give us a brief outline of the brand?

We offer a bespoke refrigeration and shopfitting service to create a food-led retail environment with the ability to cater to a range of project sizes. We are industry leaders in what we do, and we have more than 35 years of experience. Creative Retail Solutions is an innovative company, with in-house design facilities, relationships with some of Europe’s foremost refrigeration and shopfitting manufacturers, allowing us to provide state of the art equipment and service.

What are the key selling points of your service?

We offer a complete end to end package, which includes, design, project management, customer service, supply and installation of refrigeration and shopfitting, and full after sales support. We tailor make our service to suit your needs.

Every project is different, but we work closely with our

24

clients to ensure the end result is unique to them and reflects their individuality and styling. We encourage all our customers to view any of the projects we have completed to build confidence in what we do and see our work close up.

What are the lead times for ordering your service?

Every garden centre is different, and all come with different objectives and challenges. We can deliver projects in as little as 4–6 weeks, but the larger, more ambitious projects require longer time to really understand and interpret the needs of our client. We will work closely with the client within an agreed budget and timeframe.

Supplying and installing equipment is usually the quickest part of a project, most of our time is usually spent discussing work with our clients and evaluating options, designs, materials and different cost levels of

Garden Centre Retail Independent Business Supplement November 2018

Company Profile Creative Solutions.indd 24

equipment, so that when a project goes live we are all confident that the best decisions have been made.

What support do you offer garden centres?

From initial enquiry, every garden centre would be assigned a dedicated account manager/project manager to look after their every need, with regular visits, meetings and project discussions.

Introducing a food offering can be a big change to what a traditional garden centre has done previously so we can guide you through the various phases of the project to ensure its ultimate success.

We also provide a range of energy-saving options to align with a garden centre’s own environmental policies.

What’s the next step for the brand?

We will continue to evolve, grow and offer the appropriate solutions for all our customers.

As they are all plastic they do not rust and can be simply hosed down from time to time.
