Leading Gardening Tools E-Retailer Gardentoolbox Hits Birmingham Glee Event

(PRWEB UK) 14 October 2011

To many, Glee is just another American spin off sitcom, to the Gardentoolbox staff it is a chance to see some of the latest and greatest gardening products available on the market today. http://www.gardentoolbox.co.uk

The Glee event in Birmingham is a huge annual event, the largest gardening and home leisure suppliers all attend, brands such as Hozelock, Fiskars and Draper were all there to show what is new in the world of gardening tools.

Lee Taylor, General Manager for Gardentoolbox quoted: ?Glee is an excellent exhibition, it allows us to seek out new products and manufacturers, and gives us a real insight into what is new and innovative in the ever expanding Garden Equipment market. From revolutionary lawnmowers to the run of the mill hedge trimmers and chainsaws, all suppliers are happy to talk you through the latest ranges and pricing?

Spread wide across 3 halls of the NEC in Birmingham, there are seminars and various displays around the exhibition, and it is a great day out for any gardening tools buyer.

Scott Morris, E-Commerce Manager of Gardentoolbox added: ?We have recently added a huge range of Sankey and Fiskars products to the website, and visiting Glee has certainly backed up our decision to do that as both stands were swamped with visitors. Gardentoolbox has seen a huge increase of sales in the garden planting market, plant pots, propagators and self-watering troughs have all been a big hit. Most of our planting products are from Sankey, but we visited Glee in the attempt to seek out some other large manufacturers of planting products and we were not disappointed?

It seems with internet shopping simply not going away the home gardener has now jumped on the e-commerce bandwagon as a savvy garden tools buyer, able to find the cheapest price of just about anything, just about anywhere in the country. Online garden tools suppliers like Gardentoolbox take all the hassle out of visiting a DIY store on a busy Saturday afternoon, no queues and a wider range of products to view in the comfort of your armchair allowing more time to actually tend to the garden.

Gardentoolbox is the sister company/site of the ever expanding Plumbworld portfolio. Plumbworld was an early pioneer of online trading, started by James and Anita Hickman in 1999 and was sold to the Grafton Group PLC in December 2006, Plumbworld now employ more than 50 people in their purpose built warehouse and offices and boast an astonishing 49 websites selling everything from Barbecues and Chainsaws to Multi Tools and Wood Burning Stoves. The business has a total turnover in excess of ?18 million and is growing at more than 20% year on year.

Ned Jarrett returns to Historic Cleveland County Fairgrounds Speedway in Shelby, NC on April 21st, 2012 to wave the green flag as Grand Marshal for the RacersReunion? Vintage Championship Series (VCS). This event will mark the return of racing at this historic venue that once provided racing excitement and entertainment for the surrounding area. The track referred to by many in its heyday as the Shelby Fairgrounds Speedway has been silent for over 30 years.

The Cleveland County Fair and its promoters have teamed up with RacersReunion? to host the inaugural VCS event. This event tagged as the 2012 North Carolina State Vintage Championships will provide several divisions of vintage racing and exhibitions on a newly constructed ? mile dirt oval utilizing a portion of the original race track. The VCS event will serve as the kick-off for a 20-race weekly racing schedule at the speedway.

?It was an awesome sight to see the heavy equipment begin carving out the new track surface on this historic site,? said track manager, Michael W. Smith. ?To see race cars back at this facility has been a dream of mine since I move to the area. This is proof of what can be accomplished when like-minded people dare to dream and act on their dreams. We?re very excited to have RacersReunion? and their event kick off the first racing season here in over 30 years.?

The VCS event is part of the Cleveland County Fair?s 2012 ?Spring Into the Fair? which runs April 20, 21, and 22. ?Having the RacersReunion? VCS event and then weekly racing at Cleveland County Fairgrounds is part of our efforts to better utilize the facility,? said Calvin Hastings, Fair promoter/manager. ?Our Fall fair, which has been a source of pride for the area since 1924, drew over 150,000 spectators last year. We feel bringing the RacersReunion? event and weekly racing back to the fairgrounds will greatly benefit the surrounding area businesses and will certainly please the passionate racing fans in the area.?
