The Glove Specialists Story

We are James and Jon, and together we run The Glove Specialists alongside our wider family business which supports leading gardening brands at consumer shows and in UK retail outlets.  

Through our work at consumer gardening shows, we had the
pleasure of getting to know Deborah and Anthony Edwards, the previous owners of The Glove Specialists. Over the past 4-5 years we often found ourselves exhibiting alongside them at events such as RHS Chelsea Flower Show and RHS Hampton Court, and during that time a genuine friendship grew.

In 2025, Deborah and Anthony shared their wish to step back from the events circuit and focus more on their farm in Devon. Knowing the dedication and hard work they had put into building the business over the last 12 years, we were honoured when they approached us about taking it on. It was an opportunity we were proud to accept.

Today, we continue to run The Glove Specialists with the same care, attention and commitment that Deborah and Anthony have shown since 2015.

Our aim is simple: to provide UK gardeners with a wide variety of specialist, quality outdoor gloves — both online and at the gardening shows we attend throughout the year.

We look forward to growing the business and continuing the legacy that Deborah and Anthony set out to create.
