NEWS & PRODUCTS 3 Key brands back for Glee 2010


Landscapes and climate change key in year ahead


The interest in edible landscapes will continue to boom in 2010, along with more focus on green infrastructure as a way of adapting to climate change.This is the view of leading figures in landscape architecture and design, who are optimistic that 2010 will see a strengthening of the sector.


Land Use Consultants Broadening horizons Overton (UK) Ltd have


recently broadened their horizons by securing an order to supply a total of 25 of their 240- litre capacity litter collectors to the London based company Al- Tauhid Ltd for use in Saudi Arabia. Stuart Rose, on behalf of the company, said “this is a new


venture for our company, although we have exported machines in the past to both the US and Australia, this is the first time we have sold anything to work in the Middle East”.

new machine of 2010; the new B2420. An addition to the popular 12, 16 and 18hp B20 Series launched last year. The B2420 combines high


power output, compact size and manoeuvrability and measuring just one metre wide is ideal for work in confined spaces making it the ideal machine for a wide variety of customers, including smallholders, horticulturists and groundscare professionals alike. The largest model in the B20


Series, the B2420 features Kubota's renowned 24hp three cylinder E-TVCS (three vortex combustion system) diesel engine. This high performance, low emission engine offers unrivalled power and fuel economy, whilst minimising noise and vibration levels.

Atkinson Vos Click here to request literature Building on the success of


last year’s Glee, many leading garden and leisure brands have confirmed that they will be returning to Glee 2010 with expanded stand spaces and bigger plans than in previous years.


Many more have also


rebooked after a successful Glee 2009, and even more key names are set to return having missed last year’s show. Key brands such as Gardman,


Bosmere, Handy Distribution, Dutch Imports,


Fallen Fruits, Norfolk Leisure, Rondeau Leisure


and Bonnington Plastics are just some of the suppliers that have all confirmed their attendance at September’s show (20-22 September, NEC Birmingham), with stand expansion ranging from 50sq m to a huge 200sq m of extra space.


principal Dominic Cole said that after a poor 18 months, projects were now starting to pick up again. "I think there are little green shoots," he explained. "Commercially, I know there are a few projects where developers are pushing their clients to make sure that they go ahead this year."


Olympics and renovations raise hopes but pricing remains tough


The Association of


Professional Landscapers vice- chairman Mark Gregory said commercial work such as the Olympics was helping the industry and forecast that renovations of office buildings would throw up business. "There will be a lot of


refurbishment work and that will include landscaping to help encourage new tenants in," he predicted. "New business start- ups are increasing, which is a positive sign."


Kildare Trade Show cancelled


Ireland's Kildare Trade Show, the country's only amenity sector event, will not be held in 2010. It is the first time in nearly a


quarter of a century that the annual show will not take place and is a reflection of the grim state of the Irish economy.
