The Chichester-based firm is family-run and provides efficient delivery services to both private customers and landscaping professionals, stocking an already large catalogue of products from growing media to decorative materials and tools.
Online Garden Supplies Expansion
AK Kin Director Adam Caulcutt said, "We are very excited to have opened our new, larger warehouse. This will allow us to offer an even broader range of high-end gardening products, as well as continue to offer the first-class service our customers have come to know us for."
The digital retailer has decided to invest in extended warehousing facilities to support increased logistical capacity and an enhanced catalogue of quality online gardening supplies and landscaping products in response to demand from a growing customer base.
Adding warehousing space to the AK Kin organisation is an exciting opportunity to broaden distribution services and offer a wider range of competitively priced, premium branded and specialist gardening products and landscaping hardware for direct delivery across the UK.
Demand for Quality UK Gardening Products
Interest in professional garden suppliers and landscaping and demand for reliable garden supplies has increased substantially.
This trend began over the pandemic, and further while rising costs of living have made the appeal of cultivating vegetable plots, herb gardens and allotments an efficient way to produce edible produce at a significant cost saving.
Industry statistics indicate that over 60% of adults visit a garden centre at least once per year. The £28.2 billion horticultural sector has contributed considerably to the national GDP, with the average household investing £150 annually in their garden or allotment.
Professional landscaping services have also grown, with the market expected to expand by a predicted 5.6% in 2022, led by government spending on public parks and gardens and the importance of maintaining green belts and grassland areas to offset carbon emissions.
Many businesses are also investing in green spaces to improve environmental sustainability – this collective demand for quality garden supply online, hardware, compost supplies, wholesale fertiliser, and ancillary commodities has put increasing pressure on gardening suppliers to deliver.
Meeting the UK's Need for Sustainable Garden Management Supplies
AK Kin has been operating in West Sussex, dispatching orders throughout the UK for several years, and has met new areas of demand head-on with ongoing expansions of product ranges, branded offerings and high-quality gardening and landscaping commodities.
The new, significantly larger warehousing facility will enable the experienced gardening team to accept a greater volume of orders while continuing to deliver advice, guidance, and suggestions to support new customers and commercial clients in selecting the optimal items and hardware for their needs.
Expanded support services also include an updated knowledge hub with numerous guides and professional explainers within the company’s Help and Advice section to provide independent recommendations about the best gardening techniques, scheduling, and products.
