The compost manufacturer and horticultural sundries business, East Horticulture and wholesale plant supplier, Wyevale East Nurseries are merging to form a new business - Provender Nurseries which will be launched in the New Year.
The announcement follows the acquisition of Wyevale Nurseries’ shares of Wyevale East Nurseries by Richard East, owner of East Horticulture and the site at Swanley.
After nine years of running two separate businesses on the same site, Provender Nurseries will seek to provide a more unified service to customers by offering a wide range of high quality plants complemented by horticultural sundries and hard landscape products.
Richard East said: “Wyevale Nurseries has worked with us through our infancy as a joint venture partner and I am grateful for their support over the years. This is a natural progression for the businesses and I am confident that under the leadership of Richard McKenna, to be appointed Managing Director of Provender Nurseries, we will be able to deliver an ever-expanding range of products to meet the needs of our customers.”
Richard McKenna, currently Managing Director of Wyevale East Nurseries, added: “I’m delighted to be launching Provender Nurseries and excited to support customers by providing so much more for them under one roof. My team is fully behind this major development and we’re looking forward to growing the business and the site in the months and years to come.”
Provender Nurseries will start trading on 2 January 2013.
