Tildenet have announced that the specialist textiles and netting supplier, Fleximas is now a Tildenet company, following a recent acquisition by the Group.

As a long established, family run company, the Fleximas ethos mirrors that of Tildenet, with great service and customer care at the forefront of the business.

Andrew Downey, Tildenet MD said:
"Fleximas has been established for over 40 years and are a very well-known and respected name within the industry making them a perfect fit for Tildenet and our expanding business. The increased product range and depth of knowledge that come with an acquisition like this will be a huge benefit for our customers and I am sure we will have some very exciting times ahead opening lots more doors to new markets. We welcome Sarah Hendon to the Tildenet Group and her vast experience will help ensure continuity from day one."

Sarah Hendon, Fleximas said:
"We are delighted to be part of the Tildenet Group at such an exciting time in their growth and I am looking forward to working with their talented teams and the opportunities that this move will bring to our customers"

This acquisition signals that 2018 will be another year of significant growth for the Tildenet Group which has recently made a further six-figure investment in its operations infrastructure as part of a sustained programme of modernisation and development across the whole business.

The show kicked off to a great start with BBC Breakfast broadcasting live from a Haxnicks Sunbubble which took centre stage at the innovative Glee Retail Lab area generating huge interest on the stand.

After a show which many felt was the most positive for years, Tildenet Gardenware are reflecting on the great reception that they received from visitors to GLEE 2017. With a dramatic (and tall!) new look to the stand, Tildenet were easy to spot in the crowd and many visitors commented on how impressive the look and feel of the stand was - a real indicator of the significant growth seen this year at Tildenet Gardenware.

The display of consolidated furniture covers in the Bosmere range, defined by a distinctive new livery, attracted praise for the ease with which the customer can now understand the choices available and the response to the new modern look of the refreshed Haxnicks branding was universally positive.

Steve Millington, Sales Director said: "Glee has given us the opportunity to demonstrate the synergy between our brands which has been enhanced by introduction of new POS within our Haxnicks and Bosmere ranges. This has been a buoyant season for Tildenet Gardenware with record sales figures showing growing support from our customers - we have made very significant investments into the business this year and look forward to an exciting 2018."

Angus Lewis, Marketing Manager added: "Glee is always a great show to launch our new ideas and show the trade what we are all about; giving us the opportunity to chat to customers and gain feedback as well as looking at the other trends around the industry. The response to our stand, new products, updated branding and newly developed merchandising solutions this year was phenomenal. The Retail Lab was also a fantastic addition and offered an additional avenue for suppliers to show their products in an inspirational and well-presented manner. All in all, an excellent show and we’re already planning for Glee 2018."

Tildenet's presence at GLEE has grown year on year with Bosmere, Haxnicks and Mainframe brands adding significantly to the Tildenet Gardenware portfolio and continuing to strengthen their offer to retailers.

Another year of substantial investment in company infrastructure has seen the launch of a new trade website where customers can order directly 24/7 as well as continued significant expansion of the warehouse operation to meet growing demand.

The GLEE 2017 stand will showcase a full brand refresh for the ever-popular Haxnicks brand and consolidated ranges, updates to packaging and merchandising solutions developed in response to customer feedback in order to help promote retail sales. Building on the success of last year's new look stand, the layout for 2017 has been designed to show retailers exactly how their shop floor can look and how the brands comfortably complement each other side-by-side with the full Tildenet Gardenware range represented.

Angus Lewis, Tildenet Marketing Manager said : “It’s an exciting time here at Tildenet Gardenware. The Haxnicks brand has been given a new lease of life with a full brand refresh with a softer colour palette used throughout packaging and all point of sale material. We’ve also been focusing heavily on our merchandising solutions across the portfolio of brands with the aim to offer retailers a choice of simple space saving and practical display options all geared to driving sales. We can’t wait for Glee to start and officially launch these changes to the trade and see the reaction."

New products to look out for on the Tildenet Gardenware stand will include a simple self-watering system for pots and SpeedWeed - an ergonomically designed hand tool to complement the popular Speedhoe as part of the Haxnicks range.
