Fargro's success at Four Oaks Trade Show
It's been a busy but very successful few days at Four Oaks 2023 for the Fargro team!
With an expert panel discussion on transitioning to peat-free, Fargro's Jack Haslam and Sean Whitworth kicked off the technical seminars this year (linked below). We also won the Professional Products/Services and Equipment Innovation category award, launched our brand new National Catalogue for 2023/24, and Women in Horticulture UK hosted an excellent networking event, sponsored by Syngenta Ornamentals!
We would like to thank everyone who visited the stand and helped to make this year's show a success!
