Petworth In Bloom Result – Silver Gilt
The Gardeners Club are pleased to announce that we achieved another SILVER GILT medal at the 2019 SSEIB competition.
That is a super result and we are all very proud of our amazing team of organisers and volunteer gardeners and watering roster crew: thank-you all once again.
See attached photo of the proud winners receiving their certificate; Jean, Ricia, Lorraine and Chris were in attendance.
As the judges said in the marking notes, Petworth has stepped up in 2019.
Points scored: 79 out of 100 (Silver Gilt range = 75 to 84).
Last year we scored 153 out of 200 (or 76.5 out of 100) so definite improvement, there was 1 different judge this year so different views and interpretations on scoring of course to be expected.
So with the judges feedback we shall now plan next years’ entry earlier with better organisation and admin. Please get in touch if you are interested in helping out on the organisation and/or gardening side.
The Covert Happy Anniversary
The Covert and David celebrate their 35th Anniversary of trading in Petworth. Wishing David all the best and long may it continue.

The owner of a Petworth hairdressing salon has been named Business Personality of the Year at the Southern Business Awards in Brighton. Hairdresser Tristan Eves of Petworth’s Tristan Eves salon took home the title, having earned a place at the prestigious Southern finals after winning the same title at the Observer and Gazette Awards back in April. Despite tough competition from his fellow nominees, Tristan was announced as the winner, with the host acknowledging the salon’s staggering success in just two years of business.
Tristan, who is respected and well-loved by both clients and the hairdressing industry, said: “This award is a huge privilege and I’m honoured to win, particularly against such strong competition. I’d like to thank our incredible salon team for their continued hard work and support and for believing in my vision for the business. I want to dedicate the award to our amazing customers, who are the reason behind our success. I’m so grateful for the encouragement and loyalty they have shown us from the very beginning.”
Tristan Eves opened in July 2016 after owner Tristan spotted a gap in the market for London-quality hairdressing in Petworth. Having worked for some of London’s most prestigious salons – including John Frieda and Stuart Phillips – Tristan has brought together a similarly talented and experienced team to ensure first class results, and today the salon now boasts more than 1,000 clients. Tristan’s apprentice Grace was shortlisted for the L’Oreal Colour Trophy STAR Award earlier this year, and was by far the youngest competitor in her region.

Petworth salon shortlisted as one of the best in the hairdressing business at national awards.Tristan Eves in Petworth has been named as a finalist in the Salon Design Award category at the British Hairdressing Business Awards, hosted by Hairdressers Journal International.The awards, which are now in their 19th year, seek to find and celebrate the very best salon businesses in the country – an industry which contributes an estimated £7bn to the British economy and one which employs more than 300,000 people.With 17 categories celebrating all aspects of the business side of hair, the awards are a proven platform for raising a salon’s profile. Even finalising in one of the prestigious categories marks a business out as one of the finest providers in the country; a win catapults them to the very top, providing unrivalled recognition that they are at the pinnacle of their profession and raising their profile to give an edge over competitors.The Salon Design Award category celebrates new or recently redesigned salons that exceed expectations in every aspect of appearance. But beyond that, the salon is designed for purpose; to make clients feel fantastic, to allow stylists to thrive and do their job to its best ability and to bring to life the company aesthetic in bricks and mortar.Says HJ’s Executive Director, Jayne Lewis-Orr: “Promoting professionalism, innovation and excellence, the British Hairdressing Business Awards recognise those individuals and teams who work tirelessly to raise the profile and stature of this industry, and make it one of which we can all be proud.She adds: “Salon design is a fun category, but it’s also one that we take very seriously – whatever your salon vision or style, being able to bring it to life in a way that makes great business sense can be a challenge. This award celebrates those who have done it perfectly.”Salon owner Tristan Eves comments: “Designing our salon was challenging, but also extremely rewarding. We’re thrilled with the end result, as are our team and clients, but a place on this shortlist is the icing on the cake.”The awards take place in London on Monday 11 September.
