New Garsons building increases footfall

A contemporary link building opened in September 2020 at Garsons Esher to connect its farm shop and garden centre has been hailed an immediate success.

The development has resulted in an improved customer flow, supporting undercover and safe distance shopping, according to centre Chairman Ian Richardson.

The business worked with garden centre and farm shop retail specialists Malcolm Scott Consultants to develop proposals for the site as part of its business development strategy. 

Andrew Burton of MSC said: “The aim of this development was to create a fluid link between the farm shop and the garden centre and the building has done this spectacularly. 

Ian Richardson added: “We are absolutely delighted with our new link building at Esher. The team at Malcolm Scott Consultants did an amazing job in drawing up and submitting a creditable case for planning.

“We worked closely with Graeme at Hodges to ensure the building detail was exactly what we wanted both practically and aesthetically.”
