Joe Lydon, who achieved a 22% sales increase for his area, has been voted the Garland/Worth Gardening Sales Agent of the Year.
The award was presented to Mr Lydon at the company's Annual Sales Conference held in the Midlands on August 18 and 19.

Second place was awarded to the Stevensons Agency that covers both southern and Northern Ireland, and third place to last year's winner Tony Robson who is responsible for sales in the north west of England.

Commenting on the awards, operations director Tony Dedman said: "At Glee last year we launched over 80 new products, and Joe Lydon and other members of our 12-strong sales agent team have capitalised on the company's continuing product innovation."

The company opened a new distribution warehouse in February 2015, resulting in an increased capacity of over 70% more pallet space. This has provided greater stock holding and enabled despatch of most orders on the same day of receipt or no later than the next day.
