UK: Hussey & Saunders of Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire is the latest merchant to sign up with Acheson & Glover, supplier of premium hard landscaping products. It joins 58 other selected merchants across the country to promote hard landscaping sales with A&G's Outside Rooms.

Managing director Robert Hussey said: "A&G does things differently from other 'traditional' competitors and offers innovative products. The difference is what my customers are looking for and what is helping us do better against our competitors. A&G provides us with the support, products and ideas that help us grow our hard landscaping sales and improve margins."

A&G only sells through merchants. Its range of products are packed and delivered to suit merchants' needs, said commercial director Stuart Cook "This approach is supported by our 'Outside Rooms', a concept based on selling ideas rather than products and helping homeowners visualise what can be achieved with their external living space.

"We are focused on becoming a major player in the market and we believe we are moving in the right direction. We are experiencing positive and encouraging feedback from our merchant customers and are confident we will enjoy continued growth as our strategy bears fruit."
