OUR
MEMBER garden centres are this month (February, 2015) being offered expert
advice on ‘how to achieve inspection excellence’ through a series of regional
presentations we’re running.
The
events will take place in six area groups, Wales & West, South Thames,
North Thames, Midlands, North West/North East and Scotland/Northern Ireland,
from now (February 9) until the end of the month (February 26).
This
is the very first time we have done these presentations and our aim is to help
improve standards in GCA member centres while assisting members to achieve the
highest possible score in their annual inspections.
Our
four inspectors this year, Liz Hutson, Andy Campbell, Ian Boardman and Roger
Crookes, will give the presentations, which will include an explanation as to
why we have an inspection process and how it helps improve retailing standards,
and on to how better standards lead to greater turnover and profitability.
The
presentations are intended for garden centre managers and their teams. The
presentations will not tell members how to run their businesses nor are they
just about displays. We value the individuality of all our members and uphold their
independence but we also espouse the sharing of best practice and learning from
each other to the benefit of all.
