Marshalls PLC to sponsor Landscape Juice

I am delighted to announce that Marshalls PLC, Britain's largest hard landscaping manufacturer and supplier, has agreed an initial six month sponsorship deal for the Landscape Juice Network. Marshalls' Group Marketing Director Chris Harrop commented: "Landscape Juice has proven itself over the years and the website has a significant number of visitors looking for landscaping information and to share their views with others in the industry. "Sponsoring Landscape Juice gives Marshalls a great opportunity to raise awareness of key issues facing the industry like training and sustainability. As industry leaders, it's been our focus to keep pushing on these issues and Landscape Juice is the ideal forum from which to really engage on finding the solutions." I've been in discussion with Chris Harrop from Marshalls for the last three months or so and what has impressed me during these talks has been that a large PLC - often labelled uncaring and insensitive to key issues in their respective markets - was willing to participate, directly, with a wider group of men and women who ultimately buy and install their products. It's a brave move for Marshalls because they are effectively joining the market mix but it demonstrates, as we have been saying through Landscape Juice for such a long time, that our respective business future's will be moulded and guided by peer view and review and the Landscape Juice Social Network is the only place that can be achieved in the United Kingdom. Marshalls have been members of the Landscape Juice Network since December 2009. Marshalls have agreed to an initial six month deal and I hope, should this relationship prove mutually beneficial, that Marshalls will sign up for the long term and help us continue to tackle some of the business issues that affect the many thousands of one-man and small enterprises in the United Kingdom. Marshalls have joined us as our principle sponsor but I continue to talk to other market leaders with a view to supporting Landscape Juice and I hope to report the results of these discussions in the very near future. The sponsorship money will enable the further development of Landscape Juice - I hope to expand our news service by employing freelance journalists and I hope that we can bolt on further services to the site. One particular cool feature will be the full integration of Twitter and Facebook into the network - it is hoped that we can do this by the end of July. Website: http://www.marshalls.co.uk/

    The Landscape Juice Green Tick is now displayed on the Marshalls' website
  • Well done to you and Marshalls. Keep up the good work.
  • I echo Claudia's comment - well done to both parties - great result Philip.
  • Wow fantastic news and a further leap forward for the LJN which must surely now be THE landscape industries principal voice for the UK. Hope you have a bottle of decent bubbly cooling down there.
    On a personal front the LJN has helped to realise my own dreams in setting up strong working connections and a future working solely in France and seeing a positive stress free future ahead. My own personal thanks to you and all the other amazing members on here whose selfless advice is always the best on offer. But it looks like this is just the beginning of where the LJN can go!!

    Phil,

    Well done on behalf of us all.

    I can only imagine the behind the scenes effort that must have gone into this annoucement. Marshalls are clearly a foward looking business and I have no doubt everyone will benefit/win from this tie-up

    It's great to see such a major player recognising the power of Landscape Juice Network.
  • blimey O'Reilly, You cant get any bigger than marshalls, well done phil for taking this forum to the next level
  • Hearty congratulations Phil. Just reward for all your hard work. !!
  • So glad, It is great news for all of us.
  • Congratulations Phil
  • Great news Phil

    It shows that the bigger companies are taking note, and realizing that landscape juice is a major voice for landscapers and gardeners alike.

"I haven't use liquid iron but do use soluble iron sulphate, takes a wee bit more mixing as it's a powder but I find it goes further and is cheaper than the liquid, I get mine from agrigem."

"This is definitely NOT my field of expertise, but I'd guess what most buyers might be interested in, could include:
1)  What's the realistic market value of your "hard" assets (vehicles, machinery, tools, materials etc).
2)  For the "goodwill" part…"

Sam Bainbridge replied to Dougie's discussion Looking for a new roller machine
"Buy an old Honda roller mower, the new ones break in 18 months and cost you £500 that is then repeated every 12 months.
