Whitehall Garden Centre have been named The Best Garden Centre Retailer of Gifts for both their Lacock and Whitchurch centre by The Greats Gift Retailer Awards 2015.
The award ceremony which took place at The Savoy Hotel in London on 7th May is now in its 13th year. The Greats recognise and celebrate not only the top independent and multiple gift retailers regionally and nationally, but also ‘one off niche retailers and garden centres’.
To be crowned the winner, Whitehall had to demonstrate not only creative flair and imagination in their displays but also retail initiative, charity work and the encouragement of new, local business into their department.
Whitehall, a family run business since 1894 have been nominated numerous times but this year managed to beat off strong competition to be crowned the overall winner.
Claire Self, director commented, “The competition and standards were incredibly high this year and we felt very honoured just to be named a finalist. To be crowned the 2015 winner has been a fantastic achievement of both the hard work and dedication of our staff of which we are immensely proud.”
