Customers at the Haskins Garden Centres at Snowhill and Roundstone have praised the introduction of a new staff uniform. General Manager Nick Joad and Kirsty Goble at the centre says that feedback from visitors to the centre has been very positive since the former dark blue uniforms were replaced in April by the new lime green image.

They say that customers now find it easier to spot staff as the colour is much brighter and that the general consensus from staff is also favourable as the free new uniform is better designed and has more weather protection.

The cost to equip the 165 full and part time staff in the centre and the busy restaurant was over £20,000.
