Chris joins us with over 20 years experience in sales to garden centres and is already well known to many of our customers. "We have seen a dramatic increase in sales in this area in the last few years but see a lot of potential,” says Andrew Richardson, Joint Managing Director. "We are sure that the combination of Chris’s knowledge and experience of the sector and his enthusiasm will help both customers and Johnsons to increase sales opportunities over the coming years.”

For his part, Chris sees the move to Johnsons as the chance to make his mark in a business he has known and respected for years. "Johnsons has a fantastic reputation as a grower and is hugely respected in the industry,” he says. "I relish the chance to make a difference to their profile in the midlands and the south: there is so much opportunity out there.”
