Kenn Lloyd
Kenneth William (Kenn), passed away peacefully on 25th May 2025, aged 80, after a short illness.
He was a former international business executive with Shell & Kimberly Clark, before founding the Cadbury Garden Centre in Somerset.
He created the thriving enterprise with his wife Jackie, in 1982, transforming a small nursery into a leading business in the horticultural industry, which helped inspire the garden centre model as we know it today. The centre is now an important site in the Blue Diamond Group.
Known for his vision, tenacity and kindness, Kenn was a devoted husband, inspiring father, proud Poppa, and loyal brother. He lived with resilience, generosity, and an enduring belief in others.
Deeply loved and greatly missed. A memorial service will be held in celebration of his life; contact the family for details.
