Gardman has a successful operation Gardman USA Inc in Atlanta USA and a thriving Export Department based at Moulton. The company exports to over 35 countries around the world and total international sales account for over 13% of group turnover. Export sales have doubled in the past two years and we expect this rapid growth to continue.
Gardman operates through distributors in its Export markets and a list of these is found in the Contact Us section.
One of the most distant and small but highly valued customers is Stanley Growers in the Falkland Islands who continue to buy Gardman products on a regular basis to supply a population of less than 3,000 people. Besides being the only garden centre for at least 500 miles Stanley Growers is an important nursery producing over 60,000 lettuce heads, 25 tons of peppers pa, tomatoes and various vegetables. It is an important part of the Falkland Islands economy and everyday life.
The formation of Gardman (Australia) Pty a 50:50 joint venture with the long established and respected Brunnings Garden Products Pty is an exciting and significant commitment to the southern hemisphere's most important gardening market! Gardman (Australia) Pty commenced trading on February 1st 2007.
The Gardman (Australia) Pty launch is being marked by a strong consumer promotion:
Paris Natar, Chairman of Gardman has been a frequent visitor to Australia since 2004, when the Company decided to establish a footprint there: "We have been trading successfully in Australia since 2005 via a distributor. But the time is now right for a direct investment with people that think and act the way we do. Like us, our new partners are already well established market leaders across a wide range of garden products. Our role is to supply excellent products at unbeatable prices and theirs is to provide Nationwide Distribution as well as superb Sales and Marketing skills from five locations across the nation."
Gardman (Australia) Pty is based in Melbourne and managed solely by Australians who know and understand Australian customer and consumer needs. Our Australian organisation is also responsible for New Zealand where we have a well known & very capable independent distribution partner Horticom based in Auckland.
