'Fantastic to see'
Peter Burks, chief executive officer of the GCA, said: “Our East regional awards meeting was both highly informative and thoroughly enjoyable. It was fantastic to see so many members in attendance, and I’d like to thank all the garden centres and their teams who joined us for the event.
“We’re also extremely grateful to our Inspectors, Peter Walker and Mark Pitman, for their engaging presentations and the valuable insights they shared from their visits to centres across the region. Members were keen to capture their observations and practical recommendations, taking away plenty of ideas to discuss with their teams back at their own centres.”
