A business which makes self-watering planters, hanging baskets and window boxes for public places has been bought by a national bin and bollard business.
Amberol, which is based in Alfreton, Derbyshire, has been acquired by Wiltshire-based Leafield Environmental.
The Derbyshire firm has been making moulded products – including planters and litter bins – for more than 50 years. Its products are sold to councils, supermarkets and horticultural suppliers.
