Aggregate Industries' North End site, Ashton Keynes has been transformed by garden designer Martin Ford to create a new inspirational display area to showcase the new 2011 product range.
With a short turnaround before the launch of the 2011 Bradstone range, we created a flowing, natural area which provides a legacy for invited guests, customers & clients to view the products in a relevant setting that allows them to be fully appreciated, resulting in higher sales across the product range.
The flexible area can also be used by employees & it is hoped that a culture of guardianship will ensure the area is kept to the highest standards all year round and can be updated according to changes in the product range.
Designer Martin Ford said “Ensuring the smooth flow of a garden at the same time as showcasing all of the new 2011 product range was a big challenge, but we have proven that displays for clients and customers of Bradstone don’t have to be boring and lack inspiration. Selling in situ is always an advantage.
“I was fortunate to have a core of workers that were as enthusiastic about the area as I was, ensuring the project was finished on time and with a stunning outcome. Having top quality hard landscaping products at my disposal also helped – as a designer I am excited by this year’s new range and I am confident they will sell well this year and in the future.”
After October’s launch, clients have already started visiting the site and feedback has been very positive, which has been reflected in orders.
Aggregate Industries Director of Sales, Mike Leeming said “We asked Martin to design an area that reflected more directly the surroundings in which our products are used with an emphasis on improving sales as well as the surroundings for employees at North End. We are thrilled with the results and hope to use this model for future ventures.”

I'm warmed to see Bradstone (and you of course:) using the site to solicit feedback for the landscape display areas. I think that this kind of web review is the future for our industry and I look forward to hearing more and how you and Bradstone will use the information.
