Pleydell Smithyman Launch Business Health Check Service

Andrew Burton

9 June 2025

OVERVIEW:

We recognise that the current economic climate—marked by rising costs, wage pressures, and shifting customer behaviour—is placing real strain on garden centres across the UK. This tailored Health Check is designed to offer practical support by identifying ways to strengthen profitability and efficiency, without adding unnecessary complexity or cost.

We’re here to listen, understand your unique circumstances, and provide clear, data-informed insights that can help guide your next steps. Our aim is to highlight opportunities that not only support the present, but could also lay the groundwork for future development.

SCOPE OF WORK:
  • Visit your site to observe operations first-hand

  • Facilitate a 2-hour conversation with you and your team to explore current pressures, plans, and processes

  • Measure departmental floor space (m²)

  • Gather sales data by department (excluding VAT)

  • Collect gross margin figures for each department

  • Benchmark performance against comparable businesses to identify where improvements or new opportunities may exist

  • Provide a written report with clear, practical suggestions tailored to your business


Total Investment: £1,465.00 (ex VAT)
