Our inspector Liz Hutson is
standing down from her role this year – with her final official engagement for
us at our annual conference next year (2016).
Liz, who started inspecting
member garden centres in 2012, has taken the decision to concentrate more on
the training and consultancy part of her business.
Our Chief Executive, Iain
Wylie, says: “We’re really sorry to see Liz go but completely understand her
decision and wish her all the very best with her exciting, new venture. She has
been a pleasure to work with.
“We’ve begun the task to look
for a replacement for her and we’re very happy to speak to people interested in
the post from all areas of the industry. Anyone keen to find out more about the
role should contact me via email or phone at the GCA before we start the
recruitment process in earnest so we can ensure they get full details sent out
to them.”
Liz, who has worked for
B&Q and Fisons Horticulture, has more than 35 years working in the
gardening sector.
She became a training and marketing consultant in 1990 and has
since worked with numerous independent and multiple outlets.
In 1992, Liz wrote the Garden Care training pack, which is
recognised and used throughout the industry and has run a series of industry
roadshows and plans to do more of these in the future.
She explained: “I have enjoyed working with the GCA team, the
privilege of visiting the member centres and meeting the staff. I will miss it,
but unfortunately it is just not possible to do everything one would like and
there are a number of new projects I want to develop.”
