The winners of the GIMA Awards 2018 are announced

The winners of the GIMA awards 2018 have been announced at the Celtic Manor Resort in South Wales.

The pinnacle of the garden retail industry’s calendar, the event brought together manufacturers, retailers, members of the press and industry figures, to celebrate the 17 highly-deserving winners.

This year Neudorff with its VineWeevilFree - Nematodes is the proud winner of the GIMA Sword of Excellence, whilst Woodlodge has scooped the GCA Supplier of the Year for the first time. The Gardenex Export Achievement Award has this year been awarded to Crest Garden, as a result of the company’s expansion of its Kent & Stowe range into 40 countries. Gardena, Fallen Fruits, Willow Wand, Primeur, Burgon & Ball, Deco-Pak, Smart Garden Products, Apta, Vitax and Evergreen Garden Care (previously The Scotts Miracle Gro Company) complete the winners roster in 2018.

GIMA Director, Vicky Nuttall, commented: “This year we have seen some emerging brands cement their place in the market, as well as established brands showcasing exactly what makes them market leaders.

"It’s great to see so much variety, and I’m sure you will agree when I say that the calibre of winners has far exceeded expectations, with each highly deserving of their award.

“A huge thank you to all our judges for volunteering their time. Their input, keen eye and industry knowledge has helped us to create a final roster of winners that best demonstrates the endless enthusiasm, innovation and inspirational content that helps make the garden retail industry such an exciting industry to be part of.

“Finally, I extend my thanks to all those that have entered the awards in 2018, as well as our sponsors, without whom we would not be able to put on an event of this scale.”
