Suttons acquires The Present Finder


Suttons’ plans to grow both organically and by acquisition,
have been further enhanced by the recent acquisition of quirky gift retailer,
The Present Finder..

The Present Finder, was started in 2000 by Mark and Fiona
Ashley Miller, offering a wide range of upmarket, fun and unusual
presents. The company was an early multichannel
gift retailer with a shop, a mail order catalogue and a very comprehensive
website.

With the recent launch of its Gifts For Gardeners Range, and
its strap line, Surprisingly Suttons, the Paignton based seed, plant, gifts and
sundries retailer has been positioning itself as more than just a seed company, and now
offers customers an even broader range of products to enhance their enjoyment
of plants, gardening and their outdoor spaces.

As Suttons MD David Robinson explains “We have the creative
and logistical capabilities to operate first rate online and offline marketing
campaigns both for our own brands and those of third parties. We have used
these to support a number of charities, providing creative, fulfilment and
online services. The peak of this activity is over the Christmas trading
period, which is quieter for our gardening brands.

“The acquisition of The Present Finder will help us to do
even more in future. It allows us to further develop our Suttons Gifts for
Gardeners range as well as enhancing our all year round gift offer to our
charity partnerships. Founder, Mark Ashley Miller feels that “With Suttons,
Fiona and I have found a company with similar values to our own which can take
our gifting business forward. The
Present Finder will offer an exciting, innovative and fun range of gifts for
Suttons’ customers, and in turn Suttons will be able to promote their wide
range of plants, seeds and gardening kit to Present Finder’s customers. Our passion for gifts will combine with
Suttons fantastic reputation to create a very strong all year- round retail
business.”
