The Garden Furniture Centre Ltd

What The Garden Furniture Centre Ltd does

The Garden Furniture Centre Ltd is a UK private limited company founded in 1999 and headquartered at Yew Tree Farm Craft Centre in Wootton Wawen, Warwickshire. It operates a direct-to-consumer retail model that pairs a 2,000+ SKU e-commerce catalogue with a 7-day-a-week physical showroom, its own delivery fleet, and click-and-collect. The product range spans outdoor dining and lounge sets (teak, rattan, metal, reclaimed), outdoor structures (cedar and bamboo gazebos, bioclimatic pergolas, Luna retractable awnings with Somfy motors), outdoor cooking (Big Green Egg kamado BBQs as an authorized UK stockist), outdoor kitchens, parasols, memorial benches with laser engraving, and accessories such as wheelie bin covers.

The company sells primarily to UK residential consumers but has built a secondary commercial/hospitality install business supplying hotels (Sheraton, Wroxall Abbey, Peak Edge, Hampton Manor), restaurants, golf clubs, resorts (Tresco Island, Bainland), and event venues. Pricing is unit-based, ranging from £99.99 accessories to £12,999 bioclimatic pergolas, with free UK delivery over £150, up-to-4-month finance installments, and discount programs for seniors (55+) and youth/students/apprentices (16–26). Distribution leverages the company's own delivery fleet for bulky items and third-party couriers for small parcels, with click-and-collect from the Warwickshire showroom. Brand-building relies on a sustained presence at RHS flower shows (Chelsea, Tatton, Hampton Court, Chatsworth) and other UK trade exhibitions, Trustpilot social proof, FSC-C147147 sustainable-sourcing certification, and broadcast exposure via ITV's Love Your Garden (2019). The business is family-run, bootstrapped, with approximately 10 employees and no disclosed external funding or parent company.
