HTA to relocate to Oxfordshire

The Horticultural Trades Association (HTA) has announced that it will be relocating to Chilton, Oxfordshire in October 2016.

The location of the new office facilities provide good access to the A34, M4 and M40 and mainline rail networks through Didcot Station.

The building offers a more efficient office environment which will include a lounge where members can work and a series of meeting rooms, event and showroom space which will be available for members to use at preferential rates.

Carol Paris, HTA chief executive, said: "This is a really exciting development for the HTA, helping to keep it moving forward as a modern trade body. The Association has long outgrown its current premises in Theale and the new premises will provide a better working environment and greater opportunities which members will be able to benefit from.

"Theale is currently home to the HTA, APL, BOPP, International Association of International Producers (AIPH), Chartered Institute of Horticulture, HTA Benevolent Fund and the Garden Centre Association (GCA). The extra space and parking strengthens the opportunities for the HTA as a ‘horticultural hub’ where members can work, meet and collaborate in the interests of the wider industry.

"There will be opportunities for immediate efficiencies that the previous building did not allow."

"A good idea to have a "Force Majeure" clause in your contract for such work. Just as nobody would expect a patio to withstand an earth quake of significant magnitude, nor a sink hole opening up beneath it, less exciting than such unexpected events,…"

The other issue this summer has been the surrounding…"
