Haskins, Gardensite.co.uk, Blue Diamond, Homebase and John Lewis were named as the winners of the inaugural Glee Buyers Power List at this week's show.
The initiative was launched to recognise and celebrate the many garden retail buyers who have gone above and beyond to make a difference within the industry in the past 12 months.

Glee launched the Buyers Power List initiative in May, and a long list of nominations was subsequently submitted for each of the five award categories, from which shortlists were created. These were then opened up to everyone in the gardening industry, enabling them to cast their votes online for their top three buyers or teams in each category.
