  • We’re pleased to announce the transformation of our My Modular business into Tiger Modular, to sit alongside the popular Tiger brand. Stuart Davison - founder of My Modular and now Commercial Director at Woodlands - comments, “The journey from My Modular to Tiger Modular enhances our commitment to growth and quality in the outdoor living sector. Since becoming part of Woodlands, our teams have integrated seamlessly, and this rebrand underscores our shared vision of delivering expectational garden spaces under a trusted and recognised brand. With an exciting future ahead, we're poised to set new standards and lead the way forward.” Since the collaboration began at the end of 2023, Stuart, Tim, Louise and the rest of the team have settled quickly into the Woodlands family and we have already learned a great deal from their expertise and experience. The transition to Tiger Modular is an important next step in developing this part of the Woodlands portfolio, and we’re excited for the future growth of the collection over the coming months. But that’s not all! The launch of the Tiger Modular brand also marks the introduction of a brand new range of innovative Outdoor Living spaces – from outdoor kitchens to outdoor entertainment centres. Available to tailor and personalise through tigermodular.com, they are a perfect complement to any garden room. Plus, at the same time, we are also delighted to offer a selection of Tiger Modular garden rooms through the Tiger website too – providing an even wider choice to consumers, to make it even easier to find their perfect space. #TigerModular #GardenRooms #Tiger #Growth #MadeInYorkshire #WelcomeToTheFamily

  • We are delighted to announce that we have opened a new warehouse, distribution, and sales hub in Scotland. The 40,000 sq.ft site is located in Glenrothes, Fife and is an exciting development for the business as we continue to expand our operation across the whole of Scotland. The new hub will be managed by Chris Devanny, who has extensive experience within the garden building market. In addition to overseeing the 22,000 sq.ft warehouse and distribution facility, Chris will also lead the development of sales, service, and installation operations across Scotland. In addition, the Glenrothes site will also house a new Tiger garden building franchise, opening in partnership with Anchor Timber Buildings, which will house over 110 garden buildings in an 18,000 sq.ft indoor display area. The showsite in Glenrothes has been operated by our long-standing trade partners Anchor for over 40 years, and having established a successful reputation across the region, they took the decision to partner exclusively with Tiger earlier this year to help supercharge their growth. #WoodlandsHomeAndGardenGroup #TigerSheds #partnership #gardenbuildings #growth

  •   We are delighted to announce the launch of not one but two new Tiger franchise showsites in collaboration with another long-term partner, TMC Garden Buildings. The two new sites are located at Roxton Garden Centre in Bedford, and at Stonham Barns in Suffolk. Tim Clarke and his highly experienced team have been successfully supplying garden buildings across Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, Suffolk, and surrounding areas for several decades, through their TMC and Merit Garden Products brands, and have established a great reputation within the market. The Roxton display site has over 40 buildings on show and is set in the heart of Roxton Garden Centre, marking our second showsite opening at a British Garden Centre venue, following on from Tiger’s landmark deal with British Garden Centres to place show sites in over 30 garden centres across the UK. The new Stonham showsite is set within the prestigious Stonham Barns Retail Village and showcases over 50 buildings across both indoor and outdoor areas. TMC are also partnering with Tiger to support the further development of our nationwide installation service in the coming months, which will further enhance Tiger’s consumer offer and underline the value of Tiger’s growing showsite network. Woodlands have been working with Tim and his team for over 15 years and this next step builds on the great relationship between us. The new show sites are located at ·       Roxton Garden Centre, Bedford Road, Roxton MK44 3DY  ·       Stonham Barns, Pettaugh Road, Stonham Aspal, Suffolk IP14 6AT  Both are open from 9.30am until 4.30pm on Monday to Saturday and 10.30am until 4.30pm on Sunday.

  • Last week, we were delighted to celebrate yet another landmark event here at Woodlands – a very special birthday party to honour our 110 years of history and progress. As a company, we have come a long way since the beginning of Arthur Shaw (Horsforth) Ltd in December 1913. Our heritage stretches through two World Wars, booms, and recessions, two global pandemics (1919 as well as 2020) and countless other challenges. It’s a testament to all the team members who have contributed to the company’s evolution that we are still standing strong and continuing to grow 110 years later. We celebrated in style with the entire company gathering at a special event to enjoy our 110 years of innovation and success, and to look forward with confidence to the future - buoyed by the recent announcements with My Modular and British Garden Centres! With live music, competitions, tasty street food, a big prize draw, special freebies, sharing of memories and lots of fun and laughter, a fantastic time was had by all! Here’s to the next 110 years! #celebration #heritage #madeinyorkshire #familybusiness #110years

  • Exciting News at Woodlands Home & Garden Group! As part of our strategic growth strategy, we are delighted to announce that we have completed the acquisition of Smart Modular Ltd (t/a My Modular), an entrepreneurial and innovative modular garden building business with a network of skilled installation specialists, based locally in Otley. Their fantastic portfolio of products will be rebranded and become part of the Tiger range over coming months, allowing the business to enter a new higher end category of the garden building market and also benefit from the reach of the Tiger brand. The modular operation will be based at our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility at Thornbury alongside the Log Cabin production team, and Stuart Davison, the founder of My Modular, will join the Woodlands board as Commercial Director, to further develop the modular category and to support the wider growth plans of the group. Ross Moran, Chief Executive of Woodlands Home & Garden Group said “As part of our strategy, we are committed to helping our customers find their perfect space, by offering them an extensive selection of high-quality garden buildings that showcase the best possible range of designs, budgets and uses. As a result of our analysis of the market, product, and service proposition, we concluded that it would make sense to bring in specific expertise, and the right level of experience, innovation and quality required so that we could enter the market as quickly and effectively as possible. We are delighted to welcome Stuart and his team to the group, and we look forward to working with them to create further growth for the business”. We are also delighted to confirm that three members of our senior leadership team at Woodlands have been promoted to join the main board of directors: Graham Parlett to Finance Director, Lauren Coley to Product Director, and Agata Choma to Operations Director.  Providing the right leadership is key in any growing business, and Graham, Lauren and Agata have had a huge impact since joining the business and their promotion is extremely well deserved.

    We are very proud to announce that Tiger Sheds took home the trophy in the Large Retailers & E-tailers category in this year's Yorkshire & Humberside Family Business Awards. Highlighting Tiger's record for excellent customer service, and their commitment to providing innovative products and solutions that stand out in the direct-to-consumer market, the judges were also impressed by the clear passion for the product demonstrated through the generations of family ownership and across the wider Woodlands team. Huge credit goes to our amazing teams for their continued drive, passion and support in our journey to develop our brands and grow the Woodlands business. A good night was had by all in the impressive surroundings of the prestigious Majestic Hotel & Spa in Harrogate, alongside all the other nominees, and it was great to meet other growing businesses from across the region. Congratulations to all the winners… and commiserations (and best of luck for next year) to the runners-up. We hope you've all just about recovered! #YHFBA2023 #teamwork #results #Yorkshirebusiness #winner #followthetiger #findyourperfectspace #tigersheds

    Exciting News at Woodlands Home & Garden Group! We are delighted to announce the signing of an exclusive partnership agreement between our own market leading ecommerce brand Tiger, and British Garden Centres, the largest family-owned garden centre group in the UK. Over the next three and a half years, we will now be planning to open 35 Tiger showsites at key locations within the British Garden Centres’ network, offering more consumers a firsthand look at Tiger’s high quality garden buildings. This partnership reflects the shared culture, values, and growth ambitions of both companies, and further develops our passion for creating spaces that inspire relaxation and enjoyment of outdoor living. Following a successful pilot programme launched in April 2023 at BGC’s flagship garden centre in Brigg, Lincolnshire, both parties have also signed an agreement for an additional five years at the site, underpinning the strategic development of this exciting project together. This landmark move marks another significant step forward for Tiger’s offline strategy, aiming to establish a network of franchised Tiger showsites across the UK, and complementing our existing online success and position as the UK’s market leader in garden buildings. Ged Lees, Managing Director at Woodlands Home & Garden Group, expressed, "We are incredibly excited to be partnering with the prestigious British Garden Centres Group.
