At this year’s RHS Chelsea Flower Show the bespoke conservatory giant Amdega collaborated with Smallbone and built a stunning contemporary orangery for their “Alfresco Kitchen” stand which also featured a garden design created by Stephen Woodhams.

Bespoke conservatory manufacturer Amdega Conservatories is thrilled at the level of response received to the launch of its new range of quality timber greenhouses at the 2010 RHS Chelsea Flower Show where the Company displayed one of its Den lean to greenhouse designs.
Comprising of four greenhouse designs, the Den, Nursery, Retreat and Vinery, the range comes in 52 size variations with a number of features to ensure that Amdega stands out from the competition. Benefits include a low maintenance aluminium roof for ease of cleaning that matches the greenhouse perfectly. There is the option of base walls in brick or stone instead of cedar to blend further with surroundings and supply only, supply and install and full build services. Greenhouse staging is higher than that provided by others to ensure the gardener can prepare seedlings in comfort. A timed greenhouse irrigation system is available that can be set weeks in advance if required for remote control gardening. There is also cedar bench seating for the gardener to relax in the sun.
Along with the Den greenhouse Amdega also displayed two of its popular timber summerhouses; the Chelsea Kingswood and the RHS Kilburn … something for everyone.

Amdega Conservatory News - Training Academy Established
In the latest news from Amdega Limited, the oldest conservatory company in the world, is pleased to announce the launch of a “training academy” at its head office in Darlington as part of the Company’s ongoing commitment to quality and service.
The Acadamy will primarily be used as a base for providing a comprehensive induction for new installers in building bespoke conservatories and orangeries as well as wooden summerhouses and gazebos. Only after rigorous training will potential recruits be deemed as fully competent Amdega representatives and receive official certification. Current installers will also receive refresher training in various fitting techniques. The Company’s aim is to continually improve quality and service and the introduction of the Academy is part of this commitment.
Paul Cruddace, Amdega’s Sales & Marketing Director comments, “We are putting substantial amounts of money into our pursuit of continuous improvement. As the UK’s premier conservatory supplier we want to ensure that every installer is fully au fait with our tried and tested methods of working as well as new techniques that are to be implemented. We aren’t just building sections here; we are constructing complete glass rooms and everyone is getting involved. The Acadamy has been well received by our timber conservatory installers and we are already getting very positive feedback from initial training given”.
Despite the difficult economic climate of the last year, Amdega has staked £150k in setting up the Acadamy which equates to a total of £0.75m investment over the first three years of its being in existence.
Amdega’s clients, who have recently visited the factory, have also had the opportunity to tour the Academy and see training in action and have been extremely impressed with the set up.
