Rising Stars

The Rising Stars programme, sponsored by Westland Horticulture, has got off to a flying start as participants attended the first masterclass at Westland Horticulture’s merchandising lab in Peterborough recently.

The class was delivered by trainer, Ian Boardman, who gave advice and tips on merchandising, opportunities for business growth and managing the seasons to make maximum sales and profits.

We have a fantastic calibre of candidates for the programme so the competition will be extremely tough. They all demonstrated great enthusiasm throughout the day.

The Rising Stars will be putting everything they learnt into practice at their own garden centres and will measure their successes ready for the next masterclass taking place in June.

Twenty-eight potential Rising Stars attended the event and will go on to take part in the second masterclass in June, however the number will be cut down to 10 for the September class and from those 10, five will be chosen as finalists to attend the GCA Conference in Chester in January.

We’ll keep you updated on the Rising Stars’ progress…
