Garden & Leisure
Our Garden and Leisure division was formed in 2003 following the acquisition of the Peepul Bureau. Formed in the spring of 1989 the Peepul Bureau was the oldest established specialist recruiter operating in this sector and continued to operate as a stand alone business until its full integration into the MorePeople stable in September 2005.
The Garden and Leisure sector is one that has seen rapid expansion over the last 10 years. The trend towards ‘instant’ gardening, the growth of single person households and the numerous gardening and lifestyle programmes shown on TV have all helped create a tremendous appetite for the products and services of this sector of the horticultural industry. Not only has the volume and variety of products and services increased but there has also been a marked increase in the quality on offer. This can be witnessed in the rise of the Garden Centre as an upmarket retail outlet and weekend ‘destination’ as well as simply somewhere to source plants and gardening products.
The ever expanding and diverse nature of this sector is reflected in the variety of career options available. From traditional roles in the growing and distribution of gardening and nursery products to landscape design projects or national account management this is a sector that has lots to offer.
