Well, it is safe to say that this year’s Chelsea Flower Show was a massive success for us and all who were involved! From fabulous flourishes to tasty treats, it has been a beautiful way to welcome the autumnal season for us all. If you saw our last post, you can see how much work and effort went into producing our fantastic GFC stand for you all to visit in the last few days of the gorgeous September sunshine! So now that the show has come to an end, here is a rundown of what happened with our week at Chelsea!
Our Best Sellers
Thanks to Jonny and the team, our best products were displayed beautifully for you all to view and visit! It goes without saying that our Kangaroo and Koala Chairs have been the hot topic of conversation on our stand and back in our showroom. As you can see, it seems that many visitors were very comfortable when trying them out! As well as our bestselling Kangaroo and Koala chairs, our Life range also had a lot of popular attention, particularly with our Soho and Timber sets! Many visitors were stricken by the beautiful charcoal finish on the aluminium frame, as well as the sleek engineering that makes this one of our most modern and stylish ranges.
What is more, our magnificent Madrid Corner Sofa Set, which was nestled under our marvellous Galaxy Gazebo, also became extremely popular with many visitors on the stand. With the contrasting gazebo wall panel engraved with a delicate leaf pattern made especially for Chelsea, it became one of the most sought-after products of the show! Additionally, our Mustique Dining Set had many watchful eyes on our stand, with its stylish teak frame and slick stone table taking a lot of attention throughout the show.
However, it is our stunning Pergolux gazebo that not only made its Chelsea debut, but it was the first time we have had it on display at any of our shows! With our brand-new leaflets flying off the stand, it was a huge thrill to showcase our Pergolux Range in person with you all for the first time at Chelsea!
Famous Faces and Special Guests
As many of you know, the Chelsea Flower Show is notorious for celebrities to come and mix with the crowds to see the spectacular gardens and stands on display. In fact, at the GFC stand, we had a fair few famous faces come to visit, as well as having a few snapshots of our fantastic furniture! TV Presenter Nicki Chapman, who you might know from presenting the Chelsea Flower Show on the BBC, came to our stand and had a nice sit down in our Fiji Apple Day Bed! What is more, singer Alexandra Burke paid us a visit and had a friendly chat with our amazing staff on the stand. And it would not be the Chelsea Flower Show without having a visit from some Chelsea Pensioners who you can probably tell really liked our Kangaroo Chairs!
Our Brilliant Staff
It is needless to say that our success at Chelsea would not have been possible without our fabulous staff working tirelessly each day to make your experience with us one to remember. Each morning without fail, they would arrive at our stand bright and early, passing the huge queues of eager visitors ready to take a look at all the fantastic stands and gardens on display. Through meeting and speaking to thousands of people every day about our fabulous range of products, for Jon, Chris, Annetta, Nathalie and Oliver, it was an exceptional experience that they will never forget!
We hope you all had a chance to visit us at the Chelsea Flower Show this year, even though it was a little later than expected! If you have any pictures of you visiting our stand, don’t forget to tag us to share your experience!
Until next year Chelsea!
