Around 35 members of Melcourt’s unique national stockist network gathered at the Royal Agricultural Centre at Stoneleigh last week to celebrate a year in which sales were again markedly up and an exciting new range of bagged products was launched. Whilst a review of past achievements was an important part of the day, a large part of the time was devoted to looking ahead to new marketing initiatives to boost future sales. “We are the UK’s leading bark supplier to landscape professionals and play providers and the launch of seven of our most popular mulches, composts, soil conditioners, and play surfaces, in unique high impact packaging is a very exciting development,” says Andy Chalmers, Sales and Marketing Director of Melcourt. “The annual gathering of stockists offers a chance to share news about our sector and ideas for the future. It also gave us the chance to recognise the superb sales achievements of Michael Bryant of Country Supplies in High Wycombe and Mark Williams of Earlswood Landscape Supplies (pictured).
