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 once again markedly up and the impact of an exciting new range of bagged products was reflected in sales for the first time. Whilst a review of past achievements was an important part of the day, most of the time was given over to business development including sessions on internet trading and, in a presentation by Forest Garden plc, on new product lines.

“We are the UK’s leading bark supplier to landscape professionals and play providers and the nationwide network of stockists is an important part of our offering to that sector,” 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 Turfgrass Enterprises of Wales.” (pictured).
