Howarth said the addition of garden furniture products, including landscaping accessories, represented a natural extension to the products it already supplied to customers.
“During these tough economic times, it’s very important to support British-made products and Hutton has become the brand leader in this area,” said Gary Frogatt, divisional manager and forest products buyer for Howarth Timber and Building Supplies.
Hutton, a subsidiary of Severn Valley Woodworks, said it had known for some time that its products fitted in well within a merchant’s product range and sell well due to the good timber knowledge of staff.
