On 21 June, it was announced that the Falkland Islands Government (FIG) would be acquiring Stanley Growers Limited and Stanley Nurseries and Garden Centre and the land which both businesses occupy.
Steve Dent, Deputy Director of Development and Commercial Services, has stated: “The intention is that we will use skill sets from within Stanley Growers and Stanley Nurseries to operate the business initially,” including management from current operators Tim and Jan Miller in the first weeks and months of acquisition. “Frontline customers really should see no real change in how the business operates.”
The acquisition has taken place by an agreement for Government to purchase the shares of Stanley Growers Limited and Stanley Nurseries, from Jan and Tim Miller. These two businesses are then being merged into the Stanley Growers Limited business, with all facets of each individual business being continued - including the cultivating and selling of fresh produce and house and garden supplies, and landscaping services.
