Lichfield-based garden centre Plant Plot has been bought by David Rusholme, who has revealed plans for a new cafe bistro and digital sales platform for the business.

Mr Rusholme was able to complete the deal with the help of a funding deal with Yorkshire Bank. He said, “This funding from Yorkshire Bank has helped me make a life-changing purchase – I am excited to grow the business over the coming years through a new cafe facility and expansion of the centre.”

Yorkshire Bank's Birmingham customer bank centre's James Oliver added, “David has a wealth of business experience and we're thrilled to be able to help him with his purchase of the garden centre.

“The new modernised centre will be a fantastic facility for the local community and we'd like to wish David every success with this new venture.”
