An award winning caravan and motorhome dealership and its associated specialist plant centre plan to make a big impression at Shrewsbury Flower Show on August 8 and 9 to celebrate the landmark of 30 years’ support for the popular event.
Salop Leisure will have a stand on Victoria Avenue near the Craft Tent on the show site, while Love Plants has a major exhibit with a shop and showpiece garden in a prime location at the top of Gloucester Avenue opposite the Members’ Tent.
The successful company, which has its headquarters alongside Shrewsbury bypass at Emstrey, has been supporting the flower show for 30 years and is now one of the major sponsors.
This year’s show commemorates the show that never was in 1914, which was cancelled at the last minute owing to the start of the Great War.
Salop Leisure’s chairman Tony Bywater says the event, which claims to be the world’s longest running flower show, provides a perfect stage for Salop Leisure to showcase its products and he’s expecting 1914 theme to be very popular this year.
The company will have a caravan holiday home, touring caravan and motorhome on display and Love Plants will be selling a full range of quality plants from its stand.
“The show is one of the highlights of our calendar because it attracts so many people to Shrewsbury from all over the UK,” said Mr Bywater. “It has a tremendous following from Shropshire and Mid Wales people and always generates quality leads that turn into sales.
“It’s a brilliant show for families as there is so much to see and do there. It gives us an ideal opportunity to introduce potential customers to the latest caravan holidays homes, touring caravans and motorhomes, as well as promoting our specialist plant centre, Love Plants.”
The company sells tickets for the show at its headquarters and promotes the event to visitors at every opportunity.
