Initially established in 1952 in Alton, we moved a few miles down the road in 2001 to our wonderful home – Torberry Farm in the South Downs. Torberry has become both a stunning show site and great space for our growing factory, enabling us to manufacture everything here in the UK and allow us to create the most beautiful bespoke greenhouses in the world.
From our original horticultural roots in the 50s, we have since developed our flagship Thomas Messenger glasshouse, launched the National Trust Collection of greenhouses in 2004, established a flourishing overseas market and earned a fabulous endorsement from the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. We continue to invest in our research and development for ongoing product improvement and creation.
Of course our most important ingredient is our people – they continue to be the heart and soul of our business. Their passion has become the backbone of our purpose, and we encourage all to embark on a journey of learning and curiosity. We are genuinely passionate about ALL that grows.
At Alitex we continually work on creating a great working environment where our team can genuinely thrive.
Our values are simple but essential. We take pride in all the little things, personal development is a must (and a joy), we want everyone to feel part of the Alitex family and we encourage individual thinking – these values drive our behaviour and our culture sits at the core of our purpose.
