David Lowe has retired from Webbs Garden Centres after 32 years.
Mr Lowe joined Webbs in 1978, working his way up through a variety of roles including garden centre manager at Webbs' Wychbold centre. He retires from his current position as senior group operations manager.

Webbs chief executive Boyd Douglas-Davies said: "I have worked with David for over 20 years of his time at Webbs and he has been a major part of growing the garden centre business which now includes stores at West Hagley and Ryton Gardens as well as Wychbold. David has been involved in every project, and his contribution has been highly valued. We will miss him."

Mr Lowe was also a keen supporter of Webbs' chosen charities, and last year completed the 31-mile Worcestershire Way Walk with Mr Douglas-Davies, raising £7,500 for St Richard's Hospice.
