The Scotts Miracle-Gro has announced that its subsidiary, The Scotts Company (UK) Limited, has reached an agreement to acquire proprietary brands from Solus Garden and Leisure Limited (in Administration).
The acquisition includes, but is not limited to, the Yeoman, Joseph Bentley, ChapelWood, Botanico, Garden Nation and Bermuda brands. Prior to going into administration, Solus was a leading UK supplier of garden and leisure products, offering a diverse mix of quality brands for more than 25 years.
“The acquired Solus brands are complementary to our existing gardens business in the UK and fill some gaps in our current product offering,” Martin Breddy, Vice President and General Manager of The Scotts Company told The Landscaper. “We are excited to combine these brands with Scotts’ innovation, advertising and marketing and are confident this will help drive faster growth for the UK gardening market.
