If you have never ordered from us before all we need to see is proof of business – such as sight of a business card, email footer, link to website, advert, listing in trade journal etc... - this can be sent to trade@harrod.uk.com.

What is trade?
The trade department is aimed at Garden Designers and Landscapers – however it is also available to any businesses within the garden and landscaping industry – along with schools, community growing schemes, allotment societies, care homes and so on.

What is the trade discount?
We have a two tier trade discount – any of our award winning and RHS endorsed UK designed and manufactured products fall under one discount and the majority of our bought in products fall under another discount. Please note there are some products where we are unable to offer any discounts at all – such as extra value packs (where the products have been bulk packed and are already discounted) or direct despatch items which are large products such as bulk bags of topsoil, greenhouses and so on.
