Yarnton Home & Gift
As Chair of The British Display Society, I was delighted to award Celia Leeson-Dixon, Jo Simonds and Jason Brown their Membership Certificates.
Given her wealth of experience and knowledge, Celia was awarded Fellow of the Society while her VM team Jo and Jason were awarded Associate Membership.

I originally met Celia nearly 20 years ago at Top Drawer in London whilst I was working on stand presentation of the Two’s Company giftware/homeware stand. We lost contact for a while, so it is great to reconnect with her again. The British Display Society offers help and support in terms of visual merchandising training/guidelines to help create a great shopping experience. It is widely recognised in the UK for being at the forefront of VM education with its team of highly experienced Visual Merchandisers on the BDS Team, who have all had formal training and practical experience in many of London’s stores.

Yarnton Home & Gift
Yarnton Home & Gift in Kidlington, Oxfordshire is a stunning destination Centre for plants, shrubs and all garden materials and accessories, including garden furniture for that outdoor living experience.
In addition to this it has a superb gift/home section plus a coffee shop and restaurant. Given the recent rise in popularity of garden centres, Yarnton is very much a ‘destination shopping experience’ where shoppers can spend some time leisurely walking around the showroom.
