Rolawn Turf and Topsoil Selected by 17 Award Winners at RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2014

29/05/2014

Rolawn’s renowned Medallion turf, Blended Loam topsoil and Landscaping Bark were incorporated into a number of medal winning gardens and stands at RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2014, by both Chelsea regulars and up and coming young designers and landscapers.

This year the President’s Award went to The Royal British Legion and Birmingham City Council’s WW1 themed garden, which also featured Medallion turf as well as Rolawn’s Landscaping Bark.  

Cleve West used Rolawn’s Medallion turf to frame his gold award-winning garden, built in conjunction with Swatton Landscapes and sponsored by M&G Investments. The garden was based on a Persian paradise garden, and designed to provide a relaxing space for sanctuary and contemplation. In the Fresh Area, Rolawn Blended Loam topsoil was used for the opulent planting on The Gucci Garden.

Jonathan Hill, Rolawn’s Sales & Marketing Director, commented, “Chelsea 2014 has been very interesting as a lot of new, young designers have been involved and many of them have chosen Rolawn products for their gardens, which is testimony to Rolawn’s reputation for product quality. We’re very proud to have been involved in Chelsea Flower Show again, and we’d like to congratulate all of the award winners – both Chelsea regulars and newcomers – and thank them for their ongoing support.”

Important update: Temporary 6.5% surcharge effective 7 April 

At Rolawn, we are committed to maintaining the high standards of quality and service our customers expect, so we want to be open with our customers about a change that will affect pricing from Tuesday 7th April. 

This decision has been taken in response to disruption to energy supplies, which has led to significant increases in wholesale prices, affecting not only fuel and fertiliser but also costs throughout our wider supply chain. As a business that relies heavily on fuel for both transport and operations, these sustained cost pressures have become increasingly difficult to absorb.  

While we have worked hard to mitigate the impact, the scale and pace of recent price increases have now exceeded what we can sustain internally, and we therefore need to recover a proportion of these externally driven increases. 

From Tuesday 7th April, a temporary 6.5% surcharge will apply to all products.  

We know that any increase in price is frustrating, particularly at a time when many businesses and households are already feeling under pressure. That is why we want to be clear that this is not a decision we have made lightly, and not one we wanted to make. It has been introduced solely to help offset unavoidable cost inflation and allow us to continue delivering the quality, reliability and service standards associated with Rolawn. 

We will continue to monitor market conditions closely and will review this surcharge as soon as circumstances allow, providing reasonable notice of any changes. We recognise that any price increase is unwelcome, but this step is necessary to ensure the continuity and reliability of our operations during a period of ongoing uncertainty. 

We remain committed to providing the quality, reliability and service standards you expect from Rolawn, and we truly appreciate your understanding and continued support. 

If you have any questions, please contact our customer support team who will be happy to help.
