La Hacienda used SOLEX today for the official launch of their unique tower chimeneas – the Prestige range…

Made in the EU from hard-wearing steel, they boast clean geometric lines that will appeal to contemporary tastes.

Managing director John Goodwin says sourcing the products from Europe rather than Mexico or the Far East has cut delivery lead times by two thirds, an important benefit in busy summers like this year’s, which has seen outstanding outdoor leisure sales in garden centres.

“Our sales in June doubled,” John told SOLEX Sun, “which at times caused some out-of-stocks, so cutting delivery lead times to replenish stock more quickly becomes important.”

He predicts that La Hacienda’s overall sales are likely to be 20% up this year, due in part to burgeoning increases in online business through their leading retail customers.

Other new products on the stand (120) include fire pits and a tripod with hanging grill.
