Get ready, we're hosting a LIVE Q&A with Carl Stevens this August!

Over the past 12–18 months, the UK hydroponics retail market has slowed, with margins tightening across the board.

In conversations with over 300 active stores each year, the same issues keep coming up: price pressure, online undercutting, reduced footfall, and volume no longer making up for shrinking margins.

Rather than tackling this store by store, The Growers Forum brings the industry together.

Hosted as a monthly Google Meet, it's an open, honest conversation between retailers and distributors about market conditions and practical ways forward.
