B r a m b l e c r e s t a t
Celebrating its 25th anniversary, Bramblecrest ’s Head of Sales, Tim Pennell reflects on the key achievements of the British-owned and designed garden furniture brand. From its longest-standing and favourite range, product innovations to its new employee-owned future, we hear how they have shaped the company’s path to success.
We are nothing without our people,” begins Tim, before an all-company shot at the Cotswold HQ Home since 2008, the WW2 Hangar at Aston Down Business Park is par t of its heritage Always a Cotswoldbased company, the two founders star ted off the back of an unexpected visit to a Javanese pot factor y during their travels They decided to ship and sell in the UK to such a success, that in 2000, Bramblecrest was born
Industr y milestones
“When you put it all together, all the hard work is there to see,” comments Tim Now synonymous with excellence in quality, comfor t, durability, and outstanding customer care, Bramblecrest launched the dual heightadjustable table in the UK during 2017, bringing a fresh approach to outdoor dining, with adjustable settings for either a low coffee table or a casual dining height
In 2023 , the business took the bold move to transition to an Employee Ownership Trust,
2 5
meaning it can provide oppor tunities for its employees, remain independent, resilient, sustainably financed and maintain excellent customer ser vice “We are so proud to be an employee-owned business We care deeply about our people, our values, and the future we’re building together There’s much more to come,” says Tim enthusiastically
Standing the test of time
Celebrated for its ongoing innovation in product design, the brand unveiled ne w collections this season in on-trend mocha and sage tones, while also expanding its use of cutting-edge materials such as heat transfer ‘wood-effect’ sur faces and highper formance synthetic rope
This season also marked the launch of three ne w collections in collaboration with The Royal Hor ticultural Society (RHS)
Bramblecrest at SOLEX
Alongside these ne w developments, longstanding favourites remain, with the brand perhaps best known for its timeless Chedwor th range One of the largest collections, its sophisticated blend of traditional rattan design, Chedwor th boasts classic good looks combined with the benefit of durable, modern materials
Another standout innovation is the introduction of eco-fabrics crafted using recycled plastic bottles These materials not only offer a sustainable solution by reducing plastic waste and minimising environmental impact, but they also provide exceptional durability, ensuring long-lasting per formance and reliability in ever yday use
Tim adds: “Over the past fe w years, we’ve seen a real shift in what customers expect - from sustainable materials to smar ter, multi-functional designs Innovation isn’t just about ne w products; it’s about adapting to how people live and relax outdoors We’re constantly evolving to stay ahead of those trends ”
The Bramblecrest way
ensure that they have all the tools required to maximise success
“From offering extensive in-store POS and product training, a dedicated account manager and a bespoke online por tal, to ongoing investment in marketing and PR This demonstrates that we’re listening and directly responding to customer feedback and evolving business needs,” continues Tim
Bramblecrest also remains committed to environmental responsibility and an ongoing par tnership with Ecologi, the UK’s most trusted climate action platform Tim adds, “Through our investment in reforestation, we are dedicated to carbon reduction We’re delighted to be approaching a major milestone suppor ting the planting of our 100,000th tree worldwide, with one tree planted for ever y set sold ”
Bramblecrest is set to unveil aseries of excitingproduct launchesatSOLEX, includingan all-new outdoor rope range,brand newoutdoor kitchen rangeand its ‘greenest product’ yet, aGlobal RecycledStandardcertified Textilene chair.

This year,HEXLiving isunveiling newproductsat SOLEX, afirst forits product portfolio,set to enhanceoutdoor living and entertaining.Eachproduct combines luxurydesign, premiummaterials, and British craftsmanship.
Morethan just abrand, HEX Livingis afamilybusinesswith amission: to bring the indoors outdoorswith engineering excellence. Yourcustomersaren’t justinvestingin their gardens -they’re investingin acentrepiece formemories which willlasta lifetime.
With over30 years ofengineering and manufacturing expertise,Martin Smith and PaulClews,Managing Director ofHEXLiving,set acleargoaltobring engineeringexcellencetotheBritish outdoor living market. So that’swhat theydid.
Arange of contemporary outdoor living
As gardenstorageisanimportant featureinanyoutdoor space, HEXLiving launcheditsfirst collectionin2022,a sleek,durable rangeofoutdoorstorage solutions. Fromgardensheds with integratedorganisationlayouts andbuiltindrainage, to sleek wheeliebinstorage designed to hide yourbinsawayinstyle without restricting functionality—this first collection filled all cornersof the outdoorstoragemarket.
Butitdidn’tstopthere. With an emphasisonall-year-roundoutdoor
living, Martin and Paul were set on fulfilling every seasonal need For those cooler months, HEX Living launched a gas-controlled firepit, perfect for extending evenings outdoors, and garden pergolas to provide protection from the unpredictable weather our country is known for, ensuring outdoor entertaining can continue despite the wind and rain
Today, HEX Living has grown its portfolio to include stunning garden furniture, contemporary outdoor dining sets and outdoor kitchens The Buckley outdoor kitchen range, the most recently launched collection, boasts items from barbecue units and smokers to sinks, coolers and functional bar areas All six layouts are thoughtfully designed to suit a variety of lifestyles and are as stunning as they are functional, offering the finest al fresco experience The Buckley can also be customised to suit bespoke requirements
Designed for life: British made, British manufactured
In today’s era of modern manufacturing and mass production, quality is often compromised by the allure of cheap overseas prices But for HEX Living, as a business born and built in Britain, it makes sure to keep its production process under one roof This allows for more sustainable and improved alternatives to overseas imports, providing a reliable nationwide supply throughout production
Whilst delivering the highest quality and modern designs, HEX Living products also offer customers exceptional durability this is due to their unique galvanisation process which adds extra protection to metal This
protective layer, made up of zinc, prevents the metal from corroding, creating an allweatherproof and rust-resistant material that’s perfect for outdoor use all-year round “Quality is at the core of everything we do,” says Paul Clews “Our customers want lifetime luxury, and that’s exactly what we deliver We believe in making products that are built properly and stand the test of time ”
