Three separate companies - Wyevale Containers, Wyevale Trees and Wyevale Transplants - have re-launched under a single Wyevale Nurseries brand.
The new company will be overseen by Managing Director, Andy Johnson. He said: “We aim to be the ‘one-stop-shop’ for the landscaping and retail markets and are focused on reaching a potential new audience and widening the customer base trade contacts that we currently have.
Wyevale Nurseries was established in 1928 by Harry Williamson and became the company it is today under the leadership of his son, Peter. Peter Williamson passed away in 2011.
In 1987 Wyvale Nurseries sold its 19 garden centres to concentrate on its retail business.
The Williamson family then concentrated its focus on growing as Wyevale Nurseries Ltd. Wyevale Nurseries continues to be a family-run business with ownership and joint chairmanship passing to the third generation: Heather and Simeon Williamson.
Wyevale Nurseries’ Joint Chairman, Heather Williamson said: “Building the business – having grown up with it but observing it from the outside – it was apparent that to ensure it had a long-term future, it made sense to bring all the production divisions together to provide the ‘one-stop-shop’ customers are looking for these days.”
