The Federation of Garden and Leisure Manufacturers, the umbrella organisation for trade associations PetQuip and Gardenex, has launched a new enhanced membership category.
The Patron Programme has been created for companies who wish to contribute to wider support of the pet and garden sectors, to help raise their profile to government, the trade and aligned industry sectors.
Patron membership offers enhanced benefits, including prominent branding in PetQuip and Gardenex assets and collateral, product showcases at Meet the Buyer events, promotion within the British pavilion at international trade shows and the opportunity to take part in the Federation’s webinar series. The first three members to sign up for the new tier are Canagan, AutoPot and VegTrug.
Federation director general Joe Denham said: “By going the extra mile, these companies will enjoy exclusive benefits and work closely with us to champion change, influence government policy and help drive the sectors forward.
“We are grateful for the support of our Patrons who have confirmed their participation and would like to invite other companies who would like to work with us to get in touch.”
