Glee New Product wins provide extra impetus for Apta

Winning two Glee New Product Awards meant Glee got off to a great start for Apta, but it's been even better since as visitors have flocked to the stand to find out more about the GlazeLite range of planters in a unique lightweight material that replicates the look of glazed ceramics.

Sales Director James Hoad told Glee Daily News: "We're pleased our GlazeLite display is right in the middle of our stand, it really has been an unexpected highlight and orders have exceeded expectations."

"Our expanded range of RHS pots, including larger sizes and RHS Terracotta have aslo been a huge success with ticks of approval from all of our customers."

Garden Centre buyers were also pleased to see the new range of RHS Indoor Pot covers "The pink and grey designs will sell particularly well" commented Lesley from New Hopetoun Gardens.

Earlier at Glee, the Apta GlazeLite range was judged best launch in the landscaping and construction category and went on to win the Best of British award for best British product at Glee.

The planters attracted the attention of visitors from the moment the show opened, impressing buyers with their authentic look and stylish finish.

Trevor Pfeiffer, MD of The Garden Communication & Media Company (publishers of Garden Trade News and GTN Xtra), who was one of the awards judges, said: “Apta GlazeLite might be lightweight but will be a heavyweight garden centre bestseller – provided it is merchandised in a way that accentuates its lightweight design.  Customers will love that they look just like ceramic.”

These planters, in two designs and four colours, are almost impossible to distinguish from traditional products when planted up, whilst also being ultra lightweight, robust and environmentally friendly. The material is a combination of clay and re-cycled plastic.

SRPs are £14.99 to £16.99.

GlazeLite also scooped a second award - the Best of British
