Treadstone Products strengthens team with new UK Head of Garden Retail
Treadstone Products has strengthened its UK sales team with the promotion of Matt Thompson to UK Head of Garden Retail.
Matt will be responsible for the promotion of the Treadstone Products brand to retailers across the UK. He will also be looking after the company’s new exclusive range of branded gardening accessories including The Good Life, Laura Ashley and a children’s range based on the popular cbeebies television programme Peter Rabbit.
