Alex, the MD of Booths Garden Studios, was given a Smarta Award which highlighted top innovative companies - companies who were “game changers”.
The panel of judges included Deborah Meaden and the fact that Alex’s garden offices are zero maintenance along with unique guarantees (like “we’ll take your garden studio back if you don’t like it!”)
Booths were seen as a company at the forefront of the huge surge in the popularity of garden rooms.
The figures back this up showing that Booths turned over half a million in 2009, £1M in 2010, £1.2M in 2011 and £1.5M in 2012 - All of this growth during a dire economic outlook for the UK economy.
The QC Garden Studio has been the backbone of this growth. The “QC” stands for “Quarter Century” since the exterior of this garden studio needs no maintenance for at least 25 years.
Everyone is very busy these days so not having to spend weekends painting or staining a garden studio to maintain it’s looks, is very appealing.
Timber inevitably changes it’s look as it gets older whilst the QC doesn’t. Booths actually stopped supplying timber studios in January 2012 for these reasons.

Alex also met Theo Paphitis and one of the "new" dragons, Piers Linney ( below) at the Smarta Awards in London.

I appreciate that the installation of my studio was probably more challenging than the norm due to the considerable elevated position at the very top of my garden and the digging out of substantial tree roots. That said, the fitters simply 'got on' with the job in hand and just made a joke of the challenges without complaining at all (at least whilst I was in ear shot!). Please pass on my thanks to all the team, Kind regards,

Dear Iain,
We love our garden studio and yes finally, after a few hiccups related to other building work going on at the same time, we are in here. I spent the whole 9 weeks of the other build bemoaning the fact that the builders weren’t even a 10th as great as your guys!!
It turned out to be an unexpected bonus in the recent bad weather as our house heating failed but myself, hubby and cats were able to move into our snug and warm little office for a couple of days and whilst it wasn’t exactly what we’d brought it for J it was much better than freezing in the house.
Landscaping around the office has just started and when that’s done I promise I’ll send a few photo’s as its going to look fab! Best wishes and thanks for our amazing office!
