Being hands on in the garden can be very rewarding . Whether its through watering or planting seeds in the flowerbed, our customers enjoy being part of its growth. With over half a century of horticultural expertise. Hozelock understand the rewards of gardening and have developed the range to help gardeners to get the most from their involvement in it. We combine a knowledge and passion for gardening with a pride in craftsmanship to develop gardening solutions that help gardens flourish and come to life. Every product is crafted to work time after time, so that our customers can care for their gardens in the best possible way. As a result , Hozelock is one of Britain's favourite gardening suppliers. From our early days, our drive has always been to develop technically perfect, visibly striking products that are part of a system. Our first product was the worlds first plastic hose connector - the Hoze-Lock. Today, our head office is in Birmingham (UK), and although we are a global garden equipment manufacturer, over 75% of our products are made in Britain. With the remaining 25% built in our overseas factories in France, Malaysia, Taiwan and China. Hozelock is part of the Hozelock Group. The Hozelock Group supplies products under two brands : Hozelock - our retail Gardening brand, and Tricoflex - our B2B industrial Hose brand. As a previous winner of the Queens Award for export, its natural that we have a heavy focus on exporting our products and services to more than 60 countries. In 2009 we won the Institute of Mechanical Engineers: Manufacturing Excellence Award (MX) for Logistics and Resource Efficiency which builds on excellent record, having won the 2008 MX Award for Customer Focus and the 2007 MX Award for Change Management.
