More sponsors for our annual GCA conference

BORD na Móna and Hozelock have signed up as secondary sponsors for our annual conference taking place in January next year (2014).

The two companies join Davidson Richards and Westland Horticulture, which are the headline sponsors for the event.

Our Chief Executive, Iain Wylie, said: “It’s wonderful having such well-known brands and names associated with our conference, which is fast becoming the best event of the gardening year when it comes to getting together with likeminded industry-folk.

We have a permanent Chief Exec

Iain Wylie, who until recently was our interim Chief Executive, has been confirmed in the position of Chief Executive.

Our Chairman, Peter Burks said: “We’re delighted Iain was available to continue in the role and are looking forward to the future. He has a great deal of expertise and knowledge and is very experienced in the ways of the GCA.”

Iain took the post of interim Chief Executive in October last year and has been helping to run the GCA during the past 12 months.

Peter added: “He’s done a great job in the holding role and there are lots of new projects to work on such as GROW. It promises to be an exciting coming year for the GCA.”
