British-based Durstons goes from strength-to-strength
 
Somerset based Durston Garden Products continues to grow as the company returns from GLEE this year with even more new customers under its belt.

The 100% British based family owned company was established in 1860, and continues to operate from its original location in Somerset where the business now boasts one of the most modern fully automated packaging plants in the UK today.

“The success of the company,” says sales & marketing director, Chris Durston (pictured) “can be attributed to a number of factors, with the most notable being our  reputation within the industry for offering excellent quality of product. We have also invested heavily into a long term programme involving the inclusion of a supplementary organic ingredient to our compost known as ‘GroBoost’.

"GroBoost not only reduces our dependency on peat, but also offers the consumer a much longer lasting nutrient boost for their plants.  Durston Garden Products is also very conscious of its environmental responsibilities and working with the RSPB, manages its land sensitively, by restoring and adding new wildlife habitats after the peat has been extracted.

"The word is out and the message is getting across that Durstons produce an excellent quality product and really are a great company to do business with. When buyers experience the service we provide, they rarely go anywhere else. We see our customers’ ongoing success, as a reflection of our commitment to getting things right for them."

Sales of Durston products in the past twelve months have grown substantially and the company is confident that this trend will continue well into the future.

“It’s all about holding your nerve and keeping calm,” continues Chris, who along with co-directors Steve and Dan Durston is very proud of the British family owned business which has been operating from the Somerset levels for over 150 years.
