Simon Bourne, Retail Director at Perrywood, comments, “We are all on cloud nine today! For Perrywood Tiptree to keep coming top takes a lot of hard work and creativity every year. September will see Perrywood Sudbury celebrating its fourth birthday. To be named the best Garden Centre in the region in such a short time is a great reward for the investment and effort we have put into making it a brilliant place to work and shop.”
