Over 40 products are on display from a range of popular landscaping suppliers such as Talasey, Millboard, Namgrass, Brett and Long Rake Spar. “We’ve managed to showcase lots of brilliant landscaping products in a small space, so customers have a really good view of what’s available for their projects”, says Mike Nicholson, Elliotts Lymington Branch Manager. “We knew we had a cracking display as it was already bringing in enquiries before it was completed, so we’re chuffed to have won Merchant Landscaping Display of the Year. It’s testament to the hard work of all the teams involved in the planning, design and install of the space.” Elliotts, who were recently named Employer of the Year at the Solent 250 Awards, instructed exhibition builders, Applewood, and local landscapers, Dh Landscapes, to create the eyecatching display using a wide range of lifestyle images and products including porcelain paving, composite decking and timber sleepers. Elliotts Lymington Branch Manager, Mike Nicholson, and Elliotts Commercial Director, Matt Allcock, with the Merchant Landscaping Display of the Year Award at the BMJ Industry Awards “We wanted to move away from flat displays and create eye catching and inspirational spaces to showcase our products and highlight industry leading suppliers. Bringing products up to eye level was key for us, so we decided to work with specialists who had created spaces for the Ideal Home Show, and the Chelsea Flower Show”, says Victoria Anderson, Commercial Manager for Landscaping at Elliotts. e new display was unveiled 2 years a er Elliotts opened their Lymington branch, investing £5million into the location, which houses a drive-through for material collections and a large Elliotts Living Spaces kitchen and bathroom showroom.
