Following a short hiatus, Spear & Jackson is confirmed to return to the 2024 edition of Glee which takes place at the NEC in September. Glee is the unmissable event at the heart of the garden retail industry and S&J are excited to return to the annual trade exhibition where they will showcase an extensive range of quality hand tools, including a first look at the new introductions ahead of the 2025 season.
S&J Marketing Manager, Karen Abbott says “We’ve always enjoyed our time at Glee and are so pleased to see it return to a September schedule. For us this timing aligns perfectly with our sourcing and buying cycles, meaning we can exhibit fully armed with our complete new product proposition and a clear picture of what is in the pipeline for the year ahead.”
The Team at Spear & Jackson UK has recently returned from their most successful Chelsea Flower Show yet. A week of lovely sunny weather had everyone in the mood for gardening and visitors to the show couldn’t wait to snap up some new hand tools from the S&J stand.
This year for the show S&J teamed up with another Sheffield-based company, Orchis Floral Design. With an established reputation for creating beautiful floral arrangements, Orchis were excited to be presenting their own floral installation for the first time in the Great Pavilion. When S&J approached them about the possibility of helping with the floral displays for their stand, it made perfect sense to join forces. Tooled up with the best Spear & Jackson hand tools, Orchis created the arrangements for the S&J stand on site at Chelsea using flowers and plants in the red, white, and blue colours of the S&J logo, with specially designed S&J letters picked out in lush green succulents. A great example of collaborative working between two Sheffield-based companies!
