Landscapers from across the UK joined Marshalls in March to get a sneak peek of the manufacturer’s upcoming products and crown the regional winners of the Marshalls Register Awards.
Hundreds of installers and businesses, many of whom are part of The Marshalls Register of Accredited Landscape Contractors and Driveway Installers, joined the roadshows at 11 locations across the UK between 4th and 20th March. At the events, the installers got an exclusive look at new products including Modal X, a lower-cost and carbon-reduced alternative to granite paving, plus upcoming innovations in patio paving. Tool suppliers Rubi and Makita were also in attendance showcasing their latest solutions.
During the events, Marshalls announced the regional winners of its Marshalls Register Awards handing out a total of 88 awards across eight categories and 11 regions. The national winners including the Contractor of the Year, will be formally announced in April.
The awards are just one of the benefits of being an approved Marshalls Register member. At the roadshows, attendees found out more about other advantages including a profile on the manufacturer’s ‘find an installer’ facility that generates over 65,000 searches per year, access to Marshalls Design Service and reward points for every purchase. Installers also heard from m-promote, Marshalls’ marketing partner for its member scheme, who provide website and print services.
The manufacturer also showcased new digital tools including the Marshalls Outdoor Reality app that helps customers visualise products in their garden. Marshalls also previewed a new interactive version of its Gardens and Driveways brochure. Instantly updatable with the latest product information, the brochure ensures installers are always showing customers current and accurate details. Plus, its new design features bigger, better, more inspiring imagery and fast navigation with the ability to enlarge, zoom and search with ease. Furthermore, the new digital format is more sustainable and avoids old copies being sent to landfill.
