right time of year, as Christmas is still fresh in everyone’s minds.” Noblett said the show had helped his business target “high end landscapers from central London” who were looking for big impact specimen trees in wooden barrels.


And the winners are….


The third annual Glee at Spring Fair New Product Showcase Awards was the centre of much industry buzz as the ‘best in show’ were selected by a panel of industry experts, with the winners being celebrated in a special awards ceremony. This year’s judging panel was made up of


Trevor Pfeiffer of Garden Trade News; Boyd Douglas Davies, communications director at British Garden Centres; Steve Myatt, managing director of Kiwiosity and garden centre consultant; garden retail guru and part of the Pughs Garden Centre senior management team, Roger Crookes; and James Ducker, managing director of Longlands Garden Centre. Together the judges selected three outstanding products from a record-breaking number of entries, each recognised for their unique design, saleability and innovative approach to bringing to market products that will drive profits in the coming seasons. The product scooping first prize and being


awarded the ‘best in show’ was Nano Tape from Creative Products. This innovative, waterproof and reusable tape makes it easy to complete a range of interior and exterior DIY projects such as hanging photos and frames, as well as fixing rugs and table legs, whilst providing the ultimate strength and durability.


Two highly commended products were also selected by the judges. The first highly commended was the Bellevue Rocking/Reclining Set from Innovators International. This grey rattan collection combines the ultimate in comfort with the classic ‘tea for two’ style of outdoor living. Incorporating gas lift technology for the smoothest possible recline, with zero maintenance rattan and aluminium the Bellevue Rocking/Reclining Set is a great update for the outdoor living category.
