Following a very successful year in 2020 that saw Meadow View Stone double their turnover, 2021 has seen some unparalleled challenges for all landscaping manufacturers. We asked Sarah Hill, Managing Director of Meadow View Stone what they were and just how they have coped through this year's peak season.
Sarah said 'These last twelve months have tested even the strongest supply chain, with national shortages in timber, polythene and even cement, causing us continual headaches and worries. Add to this a national shortage of haulage, raw material limitations and escalating container costs, and it will give you some indication of how hard we have all had to work to try and maintain a seamless supply of products. I am immensely proud that our small team have delivered an OTIF (On Time In Full) statistic of 82% so far this year, while also working hard to improve our multiple production sites and dockside storage facilities which give us more capability than all our competitors. This continued investment will help us keep pace with market demand, maintain our growth and give new and existing customers the confidence and assurances that they are partnering with the right supplier for the future.'
With over 25% of the Meadow View Stone product range being exclusive and unique, they have a complete standalone range that can be promoted as a non-conflicting product collection with an ability to upsell in volume at a higher RRP. Their premium collection is also supplied washed to further emphasise the quality of the Meadow View Stone product offer.
This ability to innovate in a market that has seen little advancement over many years, while continuing to meet customer demand and plan for growth are Meadow View Stones key points of difference.
Our key priority has, and always will be, to fully and exclusively support the Garden Centre industry and its leading annual exhibition - Glee - so come and see us on stand number 6D30-F31 to find out more.
