Bosmere's range of barbecue and garden furniture covers has been extended with the launch Thunder Grey at SOLEX (stand 630).

In the past the covers market was quite conservative and the products were purely functional. To move the market forward Bosmere introduced fashion  in a new 'urban chic' range in the form of Storm Black. That range really took off and substantially increased the sales of premium covers.

"Interest in the Thunder Grey covers and orders at the show have exceeded expectations," said Steve Millington.

"New materials have been used and PVC backing eliminated through the use of a unique coating developed by Bosmere technicians. The covers are therefore much more environmentally friendly.

"New premium packaging has been introduced with a smart new logo 'badge'."
