Northwich TG Builders Merchants is supporting creativity in the local community this Easter with the launch of a “Design a Dream Garden” competition.

The initiative invites children from local schools and families across the area to take part by designing their own imaginative outdoor spaces. The competition aims to encourage creativity while helping children think about how gardens can be used for play, relaxation and wildlife.

Entries can range from colourful drawings and paintings to more detailed garden concepts, with children encouraged to explore themes such as adventure play areas, sensory gardens, wildlife habitats and peaceful retreats.

As part of the Easter initiative, every child who submits an entry will receive an Easter egg, while the overall winner will be awarded a £50 Amazon voucher.

The competition is open to entries completed either at school or at home, with submissions accepted via participating schools or directly at the Northwich branch.

To enter, each submission must include the child’s name, age and school. The closing date for entries is Thursday 2nd April.

The winning design will be selected after the closing date, with entries judged on creativity, originality and overall concept.

TG Group is encouraging as many local children as possible to take part and help make this Easter a celebration of imagination, colour and community spirit.

TG Aggregates is continuing to support construction and landscaping projects across Shropshire, Cheshire, and North and Mid Wales with the delivery of sand, gravel, boulders and stone.

Known locally for reliable service and flexible deliveries, TG Aggregates supplies materials to both trade customers and homeowners, helping keep everything from groundwork and drainage jobs to large landscaping schemes running smoothly.

One of the company’s more unusual recent deliveries has been to West Midlands Safari Park, where TG Aggregates supplied sand, boulders and stone for the White Lions and Hippos lodges. The materials were used to help create natural-looking environments while also meeting the practical demands of the build.

The job involved supplying sand and large boulders, all carefully scheduled to suit site access and ongoing works.

From everyday loads of sand and gravel to specialist stone and boulders, TG Aggregates continues to support projects of all sizes across the region, combining local knowledge with dependable delivery.

TG Concrete Completes Cemfloor Screed Pour at Dolgellau Adult Learning Centre

TG Concrete has successfully completed a 50m³ pour of Cemfloor liquid screed at the Dolgellau Adult Learning Centre, marking another smooth delivery on a large-scale commercial project.

Working in close collaboration with main contractor SWG, the pour was carried out efficiently and to schedule, ensuring a high-quality finish.

This project highlights TG Concrete’s experience in delivering reliable liquid screed solutions for commercial developments, supported by strong on-site coordination and a commitment to quality from start to finish.

Today our branches and offices are looking a little more colourful than usual as teams across TG Group are taking part in Christmas Jumper Day, proudly supporting Save the Children.

From the trade counter to the yard, festive knits have been paired with hi-vis and steel toes, all in the name of raising money for a brilliant cause. While jumper quality has varied (greatly), the generosity and team spirit on display has been first class.

By getting involved, our colleagues are helping Save the Children continue their vital work supporting children and families in the UK and around the world.

A big thank you to everyone who donated, took part, and embraced the festive spirit. And an extra thank you to those brave enough to wear those jumpers…

Well done team – and Merry Christmas from everyone at TG Group.

We’re really proud to share that TG Group has been named the top fundraisers in the Business category for this year’s Royal British Legion appeal!

A huge thank you to everyone across the Group who got involved, donated, or helped spread the word. It’s always great to see our teams and customers come together for a cause that means so much to so many.

Coracle World Championships Raise Over £23,000 for Macmillan – TG Group Team Crowned Top Fundraisers and Race Champions

It has been confirmed that this year’s Coracle World Championships has raised an impressive £23,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support, with the TG Group team playing a major role in the event’s success by contributing a remarkable £3,110 — the highest team total of the day.

The TG Group team, made up of Harry Griffiths, Olly Griffiths, James Bright and Jay Barrow, not only dominated on the fundraising leaderboard but also clinched first place in the hotly contested race on the River Severn in Shrewsbury, securing the coveted world title.

The event, which has raised more than £450,000 for Macmillan since 2007, supports people in Shropshire affected by cancer. Each year around 3,140 local people receive a cancer diagnosis, and Macmillan provides emotional, financial and practical support to anyone who needs it. In 2024, over 1,000 Shropshire residents contacted the Macmillan Support Line for help and guidance.

Tudor Griffiths, Managing Director of TG Group said: “We’re extremely proud to have supported such an important cause and thrilled to come away with both the winners’ trophy and the title of top fundraisers. Huge thanks go to everyone who donated, and to the Macmillan team and volunteers who make this incredible event possible.”

The Coracle World Championships remains one of Shropshire’s most unique charity events, with competitors navigating traditional coracle boats across the river in a challenging test of balance and teamwork — all in the name of raising vital funds.

TG Builders Merchants are proud to announce that we have been shortlisted as finalists in the Training Initiative of the Year category at the 2025 Builders’ Merchants Awards, the UK’s most prestigious industry event celebrating excellence across the building materials sector.

Now in its 23rd year, the Builders’ Merchants Awards are the longest-running and most respected awards in the industry, recognising individuals, teams and companies who go above and beyond to serve their customers and communities. This year’s theme, integrity, celebrates those who consistently put the customer first—a value that lies at the heart of everything TG Builders Merchants does.

The Training Initiative of the Year nomination recognises TG Builders Merchants’ commitment to investing in people as the foundation of long-term success. Since October 2024, the company has delivered a multi-layered training strategy designed to strengthen leadership, enhance technical knowledge, and promote collaboration across branches.

Highlights of the initiative include:

• Leadership Development: Nine team members completed the BMF Management Development Programme, transforming from hesitant contributors into confident, proactive branch leaders. One participant has already been promoted, and all are now driving measurable improvements in performance and staff development.
• Supplier-Led Product Training: Branch managers now host at least one supplier training session per month, deepening product knowledge and improving customer service standards across all sites.
• Specialist Timber Training: Ten employees completed an in-depth timber programme with Arbor, including a study trip to Sweden—strengthening both product expertise and team relationships.

The impact of this training culture has been significant, with staff reporting improved morale, confidence, and inter-branch collaboration, alongside clearer career progression opportunities.

TG Builders Merchants Operations Manager Kate Davies commented: “We’re incredibly proud to be recognised as finalists for the Training Initiative of the Year. At TG, we see training not just as a benefit, but as a strategic investment in our people and our future. The enthusiasm, confidence, and leadership that have come from this programme have been inspiring to watch.”

The Builders’ Merchants Awards will take place on Thursday 28th November 2025 in London, where winners from across the UK industry will be announced.

TG Builders Merchants Director Mark Evans added: “To be shortlisted among the best in our industry is a huge honour. This recognition reflects the hard work and dedication of our entire team, who continue to embrace learning and development as key to delivering outstanding service to our customers.”
