What BOSMERE LIMITED does

Bosmere Products Limited, trading as Tildenet Gardenware, is a UK-based designer and supplier of protective garden covers and gardening accessories headquartered in Bristol. Founded in 1979, the company specialises in UV-stabilised polyester covers for barbecues, garden furniture, and outdoor equipment, leveraging in-house textile engineering and its own laboratory for quality control testing. The product portfolio extends well beyond covers to include garden tools, kneeling mats, planting and watering products, lawncare items, propagation supplies, patio cleaning tools, reusable shopping bags, and seasonal Winter and Christmas lines, organised across core categories such as BBQ & Furniture Covers, Garden Essentials, Hardware & DIY, In the Garden, Patio, Propagation, BosShoppers, Tidy-Up, and Winter & Christmas.

The company sells predominantly through a B2B trade and wholesale model targeting UK distributors and retailers, accepting orders by fax, email, post, and through a dedicated sales force equipped with on-site order processing technology. Distribution is supported by a modern purpose-built warehouse and a large showroom, with shipments dispatched within 3-5 working days. A secondary direct-to-consumer channel operates through the bosmere.com e-commerce storefront, and the company provides point-of-sale display support to retail partners. Pricing is catalogue-based with VAT-inclusive suggested retail prices that are subject to change without notice; trade pricing is available only through account setup.

Since 2016, Bosmere has operated as the most recent addition to the Tildenet Group, a Bristol-based diversified conglomerate with divisions spanning Gardenware, Horticulture, Sport, and Industrial. The group affiliation provides access to established distribution infrastructure and complementary product lines, and Bosmere functions as the trade-facing brand within the group's Gardenware division. The business is a private UK limited company (UK Registered Company #01462426) with no public funding history, no disclosed headcount, and no published financial statements.
