RocketGro is excited to announce that it has expanded its team with the appointment of Andy Abraham as the company’s new Sales Director.
With 30 years’ experience of the garden retail sector under his belt, including 20+ years with Solus and latterly nine years with Westland after the incorporation of the Crest Garden brand, of which Andy was a founding member, it is safe to say that Andy will bring an invaluable knowledge and skillset to RocketGro’s offering.
Speaking about his new appointment, Andy Abraham said: “I was looking for my next adventure and when RocketGro approached me I knew this was the opportunity I had been waiting for. RocketGro is an exceptionally exciting brand and one that offers both retailers and consumers a real alternative to existing growing media sales options. Backed by a unique story, a passionate team and a brand position that offers a fresh looking at peat-free gardening, RocketGro already feels like home and I’m excited to get going!”
RocketGro’s Toby Thomas added: “We believe we are on the fast track to success and Andy’s appointment is an integral part of this. RocketGro really does offer something new and, more importantly, something that our market needs to reignite sales, increase consumer confidence and to put peat-free growing media on the map. With Andy on board we feel better positioned to communicate the RocketGro difference to those key decision makers and to look to expand our reach within UK garden centres so watch this space!

Notes to editors:
RocketGro was founded in early 2021, born out of a meeting of minds of two friends, Tim and Toby. Tim’s family have been successfully farming on their 5000-acre farm in the heart of Somerset for over 100 years. The farm produces an amazingly rich soil nourishing organic by-product from their biogas plant. The biogas powers thousands of homes, and until RocketGro was born, this by-product was only spread over the farmland meaning the farm could avoid using chemical fertilisers.
Tim wanted to share this wonder product with gardeners all over the UK and he approached Toby to help him make this dream come true. RocketGro was born.
The RocketGro mission is to help gardeners move away from peat and therefore do our bit to help the environment. Our fabulous range of products are a near total solution to any gardeners needs and the range is growing out even further. RocketGro put a great deal of care and effort into producing our premium growing media products and aim to produce the finest compost products in a sustainable and nature loving eco-friendly way. Gardeners who become ‘RocketGrowers’ will see the difference.
