A BRADFORD garden centre is celebrating after winning two regional awards.

The North East and North West Regional Garden Centre Association (GCA) awards were held at Tingley Garden Centre on July 5.

Tong Garden Centre, part of the Yorkshire Garden Centres (YGC) group, won gongs in the following categories for the North East region: The Award for Catering Excellence for Best Garden Centre Restaurant and The Indoor Lifestyle Award for Best Indoor Lifestyle Retailer.

YGC’s Group Retail and Operations Manager, Andy Mears said: “We’re so proud of our team and absolutely delighted that their hard work has been rewarded with these awards in what has been a challenging trading year.

“It’s particularly pleasing as we have won both awards several times in the past and the judges recognise our drive to give our customers an amazing experience, both in the restaurants and with our product ranges.”

Tong Garden Centre is one of Yorkshire’s biggest independent garden centres with 11,600m2 of retail space and parking for up to 700 cars.

It is part of the Yorkshire Garden Centres (YGC) group that also owns Tingley Garden Centre and the former Stephen H Smith’s Garden Centres in Otley and Harden.
