John Marlen-Summers

Company Founder

I launched the website in 2018. I was answering customer phone calls and emails, setting up marketing campaigns, writing product descriptions, communicating with suppliers, couriers, etc. It was exhausting, but I got to know the products inside out. Today, we have a bigger team, and my time is split between supporting them, alleyway gardening, blogging about gabions and running ‘Action for Animals‘ campaigns.
