We’ve brought product newness to Glee 2023 across our family of brands and with it, unveiled a new name: the AMES Companies.
With a family of brands under the AMES banner including La Hacienda, Kelkay and Apta, we want to accurately reflect the shared focus on being a partner of choice. From heritage, tried and trusted brands to new introductions making positive disruptions in the market, we feel our future is bright.
Paul North, our Managing Director, comments: “Standing still has never been an option for us.
“Whether developing our existing brands and mapping out a long-term future for them or branching out into entirely new product categories, our vision has always been focused on our role as the supply partner of choice for our retailers.
“As we look ahead to the 2024 season, this vision is becoming a reality as we celebrate our legacy brands and expand our portfolio with introductions where we’ve identified a right to play.
“The developments we are making are never about newness for the sake of it. Instead, this is about bringing to market products and brands where a clear need, gap in the market or partnership has been recognised, and our combined skillset enables us to create something that will go above and beyond expectation.”
Considerable investment
Supporting this vision for growth, the AMES Companies have recently undertaken a £3 million investment plan: transforming our Pollington site and fulfilling skill investment, securing maximum stock availability and launching unrivalled sales incentives.
Every aspect of the business has been assessed to ensure optimum performance season after season, to ensure we remain the experts of choice when it comes to being at home outdoors.
