Tell us about your company history and your brand/products ?

Brand-owners, Wolf Steel Ltd incorporated in 1976 as a small steel fabrication business launched by Wolfgang Schroeter and started manufacturing steel railings in Barrie, Ontario, Canada. At that time, no-one could imagine the incredible future that lay ahead for Wolf Steel Limited, and eventually, Napoleon Fireplaces and Napoleon Gourmet Grills. Since the first wood stove rolled off the production line over 30 years ago, Wolf Steel’s commitment was to be distinctive and successful in everything they do. The Napoleon’s commitment to producing quality products combined with honest, reliable service has proven to be a successful framework to ensure the continued rapid growth of the company. Napoleon is an ISO9001 – 2000 registered company and now operates with 500,000 plus square feet of manufacturing space and over 500 employees. It is North America’s largest privately owned manufacturer of quality wood and gas fireplaces (inserts and stoves), gourmet gas and charcoal grills, outdoor living products and waterfalls.

Monkton Elm Garden & Pet Centre is the county’s largest, independent, family-run garden centre, tell us when and how the business started.

Tenterden Garden Centre was originally a cut flower nursery and farm shop until the mid 1980's and is now one of Kent's premier garden centres, would you talk us through its success?

Some may say a grandiose claim ! Tenterden Garden Centre isn’t a Millbrook, Pollhill or Coolings but we are not far off the mark in terms of standards and service. Our year average customer spend is amongst the best in the industry and has never been under £24, so we are obviously getting a lot of things right.
