Melcourt Technical Manager and former chair of the Growing Media Association Catherine Dawson has been appointed to the company's board as Technical Director. Catherine joined the company in 1992 and has been instrumental in product development and testing from that time on. "Catherine is a well respected figure in the propagation and nursery stock sectors. She has made a big contribution to our past success and will play a key role in future developments," says Andy Chalmers, Melcourt Sales and Marketing Director.
"This is an energetic and ethical company to work for and I am delighted to be joining the board," says Catherine Dawson. "These are particularly exciting times, with our expansion into a range of equestrian products and the re-launch of the Sylvamix Range of peat-free growing media which used to be made for us by Vapogro before their demise."
In fact, Melcourt received so many calls from disappointed Sylvamix users that the decision to go back into production was almost made for them. The range comprises the standard formulae of Sylvamix Potting and Nursery Stock, the Soil Association approved Sylvamix Natural and the prescription range Sylvamix Special. The range offers growers the chance to grow peat free plants with complete confidence and excellent results.
Melcourt are widely recognized as the UK's leading supplier of mulches, soil ameliorants, peat-free planting composts, play, walk and equestrian surfaces. Its products are supplied from stock, loose, bulk or pre-packed, with prompt and reliable delivery nationwide.
The Melcourt professional range of bagged landscape and play products is now available to members of the h&b group after a recommendation from an existing Melcourt Stockist, Branch Brothers of Lincolnshire. "We’ve been stocking Melcourt products a for a couple of years now," says Ashley Branch, Managing Director. "We're impressed not only by the quality of the products themselves but also by the service which Melcourt provide. They are very much in the mould of the h&b group in their commitment to doing what they say."
Melcourt is the UK's leading supplier of mulches, soil improvers and play surfaces to landscape professionals and we are delighted to be listed by the h&b group. Our products are all based on bark, wood and other natural materials. They are thoroughly tested, recyclable, and 100&perc; peat free - perfect for the environmentally-conscious times we live in.
