After more than 14 years with Haskins, Andrew Harriss joins the Board of Directors as Buying Director, having worked his way up from his first role as Buyers Assistant.
The CEO of Haskins, Julian Winfield, said: “Andrew is a committed and loyal member of our team who has developed his skill and commercial acumen with the company over the past 14 years. We’re pleased to be welcoming Andrew to the Board of Directors and promoting him to Buying Director, a role which is very well deserved and one in which he will thrive.”
As Buying Director, Andrew will oversee the whole of Haskins’ buying department, for all five of its centres. With a seat on the Board, Andrew will also have a view across the wider business.
Andrew commented: “I have always been hugely grateful for the opportunities Haskins have provided me. Since joining 14 years ago, I have regularly been given new challenges and chances to progress my career within the business and for that I am very thankful. The horticulture industry is an incredibly enjoyable industry that really does hook you in. I can’t see myself working in any other line of work and I am pleased to be continuing my success in buying with Haskins Garden Centres.”
Haskins has centres in Ferndown (Dorset), West End (Southampton), Roundstone and Snowhill (West Sussex), Forest Lodge Garden Centre and Birdworld in Farnham, Surrey.
