As the CEO of the Chelsea group of companies which includes Mr Fothergill’s Seeds Limited – a global supplier of seeds, bulbs, hand tools and related products to gardeners across the world - I'm fortunate to have the chance to lead a dedicated and experienced team that has built some of the most trusted brands in the horticulture industry. Drawing on my 25+ years’ experience in consumer facing businesses at Procter & Gamble and Ceuta Group, I have a passion for building brands that meaningfully benefit consumers, retailers, and investors alike. Currently based near London, I've lived in Europe, Asia, and Africa, and have worked in over 50 countries. This has provided me with a strong understanding of what’s needed for a brand to win in today’s dynamic but complex global marketplace.Our mission at Mr Fothergill’s Seeds Limited is to bring the joy of gardening to both experienced and novice gardeners through our extensive and trusted range of fruit, vegetable and flower seeds/bulbs which are complemented by a broad range of hand tools and ancillary products. Over the years, Mr Fothergill’s Seeds Limited has been built into one of the most recognisable brands in the industry and has been strengthened by the acquisition of iconic seed and bulb brands, such as DT Brown, Johnsons and Woolmans; each of which have been serving gardeners for well over a century. We now have a worldwide reach through over 5,000 outlets, including both national and independent retailers, as well as direct-to-consumer platforms and e-commerce sites.Mr Fothergill’s Seeds Limited was founded in 1978.
