Mark Sherwood has been part of Webb's Garden Centre for 28 years, taking over in 2012. The garden centre, a community staple over 100 years old, has faced challenges such as break-ins and health struggles. Sherwood highlights the importance of community engagement, with schools visiting for educational purposes. Despite hardships, including a recent fine and personal health issues, Sherwood remains dedicated to serving the community, stating he operates in a "struggle, but a good struggle" within the modern economic climate.
"We’ve actually been on holiday in Tenerife and met a couple who knew the garden centre."
"During Covid we were allowed to stay partly open as we do gas for people's heating but we also had people phoning us up and placing orders and then we'd go round and deliver their goods at the end of the day."
